Trajectorya works with the A.C.A.M. definition of Global Education:
“Global Education raises awareness to world realities and develops upon an understanding on its interdependence [AWARENESS]
Global Education is understood to encompass Development and Cooperation Education, Human Rights Education, Sustainable Development Education, Peace Education and Intercultural Learning; being the global dimensions of Education for Citizenship [CONTENT]
Global Education enables people to develop empathy, a sense of belonging to the global community and responsibility towards bringing about a world of a greater justice, solidarity, equality of opportunities and universality of human rights [ACTION]
Global Education should be implemented through complementary Formal and Non-Formal Education. [METHODOLOGY]”
As agreed by the YFJ Pool of Trainers subgroup meeting in the University of Youth and Development 2005, based on the Global Education Mastrich Declaration
