For this workshop on Global Citizenship Education we invite presentations, papers and other forms of contributions from researchers, educators, civil society actors and others who are interested in the topics. The aim of this workshop is to reflect critically the concept of global citizenship education. We invite actors and researchers to come together in fruitful dialogue on the role of global citizenship education in sustainable development. We believe that partnership between civil society organizations, educators, teachers and academia is vital in achieving the change we need. How could we benefit from the work of each other and jointly promote global justice and transformative learning?

We are happy that Dr Lyn Ossome (Makerere Institute of Social Research, Uganda) will join us to give a talk on 7 December at 3 pm (CET) entitled "Reflections on democratization and gendered violence: Colonial histories and continuities." Lyn Ossome is a Senior Research Fellow at Makerere Institute of Social Research, Uganda. Her research specializations are in feminist political economy, land and agrarian studies and feminist political theory. Her current work deals with questions of social justice through a critical engagement with histories of women in politics.

Call for participation: The newly constituted Working Group on Gender Justice is inviting collaborators from all disciplines. The Gender Justice Working Group of EADI is a group of scholars working, writing and thinking on all issues related to gender justice. We feel that a shift from gender mainstreaming to gender justice in international development theory, policy and practice contexts is a worthwhile point of departure for discussion and focus. Therefore, we are opening this space/ initiative as a forum for scholars and researchers with an interest in the relationship between gender justice and international development.
