The people who make up ECIGAL have spent years collaborating, which has resulted in an ongoing series of shared research projects and the development of educational initiatives, to define new challenges and ways forward. As a result of this common trajectory, in 2020, we formally established a research group focused on global citizenship education (ECIGAL), in line with objective 4.7 of the SDGs and within the framework of the current Spanish national educational policy (LOMLOE), regarding sustainable development and global citizenship.
As a group, we hope to make an education-based contribution to addressing global interconnected issues such as co-responsibility, dignity and commitment, in the pursuit of just and sustainable societies.
We maintain a permanent collaboration with third sector entities to promote active citizenship practices that guarantee social cohesion and environmental justice - from an intercultural perspective in an interdependent world.
