The School of Education ‘Ubuntu Network Partnership Project’ hosted a Teacher Educator Global Citizenship Education Collaboration event on 29th August 2025. This event aimed to bring Initial Teacher Education educators together to increase global citizenship education through:
- Supporting teacher educators make-meaning of GCE
- Showcasing and sharing what is happening in the context of GCE in modules / programmes and at post primary education
This collaborative event afforded opportunity on making meaning for GCE, to opportunities for GCE Initial Teacher Education module learning outcomes.
