The main goal of global development education is to make people accept their share of responsibility for the situation in the world.
Global development education is a lifelong learning process that helps us understand the differences, similarities and connections between the lives of people in developing and developed countries and facilitates the understanding of the economic, social, political, environmental and cultural processes that affect them. It develops skills and supports the creation of values and attitudes so that people are able and willing to actively participate in solving local and global problems.
Global development education tends to accept responsibility for creating a world where all people have the opportunity to live a dignified life.
The school is involved in the 1Planet4All project supported by the European Union. The project is implemented by the organization People in Need, educational program Variants.
