Welcome!
Get up and goals! offers tools to support schools in the implementation of the 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals.
Schools play a crucial role to achieve Goal 4 of the 2030 Agenda – Ensure inclusive equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all
And also, of target 4.7
By 2030, ensure that all learners acquire the knowledge and skills needed to promote sustainable development, including, among others, through education for sustainable development and sustainable lifestyles, human rights, gender equality, promotion of a culture of peace and non-violence, global citizenship and appreciation of cultural diversity and of culture’s contribution to sustainable development
Which is considered fundamental for the success of the Agenda.
Furthermore, schools must deal with many of the effects of the big global issues mentioned in the 2030 Agenda (above all, inequalities), while also remaining at the heart of the educational system in all communities.
Schools can take the following steps in order to actively work towards a sustainable development:
- Strengthening the relationship with local communities, taking action and networking with associations, universities, institutions and other stakeholders so to create an environment of consistent support for all students;
- Embedding Global Citizenship Education in all aspects of the students’ learning process (including learning environments). Teaching and learning will then become means to understand the present, to imagine solutions for the future and to learn how to get by in a society;
- Using the assessment tools to carefully monitor the school progress in the implementation of the Global Citizenship Education and Education for Sustainable Development in its programs;
- Actively promoting paper and plastic recycling, food waste reduction and the creation of green areas in the school environment;
- Appreciating and celebrating diversity and overcoming racism, xenophobia, and prejudices.
Get up and goals! has created a Guide for sustainable and global schools aimed at helping schools in the implementation and systematisation of such steps.
All partners of Get up and goals! are available to support schools in this process in the 12 countries involved in the project.

Agenda 2030 is a charter for people and planet in the twenty-first century. Children and young women and men are critical agents of change and will find in the new Goals a platform to channel their infinite capacities for activism into the creation of a better world (Preamble Resolution adopted by the General Assembly on 25 September 2015)
Welcome!
Would you like to know how climate change works and how we can stop it? How inequalities develop? If they are inevitable? What pushes people to migrate? How can gender norms affect inequalities between men and women? What actually is sustainable development?
Understanding such big issues can be a very stimulating activity and can help us linking our everyday life with relevant global events. It can show us how subjects such as economics, geography, history or physics can become important tools to help us answer the questions of the present times.
Global Citizenship Education brings this type of reflections - and many others - in the school programs, making them more participatory, connected to the big global issues of the present, and capable of stimulating changes in our behaviours.
Through our resources we want to help you think over sustainable lifestyles, human rights, gender equality, the promotion of a culture of peace and non-violence and the protection of all eco-systems. And we want to help you understand that you, as a GLOBAL CITIZEN, are completely involved in all of them.
This website offers you a selection of materials to understand, reflect and take action:
- The Big Ideas – a selection of relevant topics and events to help you focus and learn more about climate change, international inequalities, gender inequalities and migrations.
- The Global Geo-History Textbook: “A global history of humanity”.
“This book is about your history, our history. It is not crowded with king’s names, dates and events you would probably forget after few months. It is not a history of your country, as nations are very young political formations: their history is not able to give account of our past as humans on this planet. This book tells another story, a story about the planet on which you are born and live. It is a story about planet Earth and the humans who have inhabited it, and above all about their fascinating and often troublesome relation”.
- A Guide for sustainable and global schools encouraging students to get involved in every aspect of their school life, from the organisation of learning environments to the communication and the relationships with local communities.
- A short beginner's guide for activists: How to organize quite some action?

Welcome!
Many European NGOs have developed educational good practices and methods to help teachers and institutions to include Global Citizenship Education (GCE) in school programs. Some Ministries of Education have formally recognised the value of GCE, while somewhere else GCE has spread and developed within schools, thanks to the efforts of single teachers.
Today most countries are experiencing an evolution in this field, also following the production of documents on such topic by UNESCO.
Among other initiatives, UNESCO promotes the integration of Global Citizenship Education in school subjects such as Civics, Social Studies, Environmental Studies, Geography, History, Religious Education, Science, Music and Arts. An approach of this kind promotes collaboration among teachers – who can introduce GCE to their students from different yet linked perspectives.
This approach encourages teachers and students’ active participation and enriches the school curricula with the big issues of the global world becoming part of an integrated learning program spanning multiple subjects -.
Get up and goals! offers a solid support to teachers and schools willing to use GCE and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda as tools to modernise their educational and institutional practices.
The project is especially addressed to secondary schools and provides them with resources, textbooks, guides and assessment tools to study the SDGs through 4 main global issues: climate change, global migrations, gender inequalities, international inequalities.
The tools of of Get up and goals! are:
- A selection of relevant ideas (“Big ideas”) about each global issue. Teachers can select the contents for their students/future citizens to know by the end of the school cycle;
- Teaching and Learning Units (TLUs) about the 4 global issues to be included in the annual program of various school subjects;
- A global geo-history textbook produced by European researchers specialised in world history. The textbook describes the development of the universal human history and connects it to the 4 big “hot” issues of the projectevolution of the 4 “big issues” of the project. The textbook overcomes the usual national and Euro-centric approach and features an innovative set of educational maps. It can be used either as the main textbook or as a complementary one during history classes.
- A set of assessment and self-assessment tools to measure and monitor the progress of students and schools towards the implementation of GCE and the SDGs of the 2030 Agenda.
For more information about these new approaches, please visit our Library.
Enjoy your new lessons!

What is GCE?
Global Citizenship Education (GCE) is an educational approach that aims at educating citizens so that they can be made aware of the complexity of today’s problems and capable of attitudes and behaviours oriented towards their resolution. GCE can find application in formal education settings, at schools, as well as in non-formal ones.
UNESCO describes Global Citizenship Education as a practice that develops a sense of belonging to a wider community and common humanity, and highlights political, economic, social and cultural interdependencies and the interconnection between local, national and global contexts.
UNESCO believes that the objectives of the GCE should invest the different areas of learning in the three fundamental educational dimensions:
- cognitive: to acquire knowledge, understanding and critical thinking on global, regional, national and local issues and on the interconnection and interdependence of different countries and populations;
- socio-emotional: to develop a sense of belonging to a common humanity, share values and responsibilities, promote empathy, solidarity and respect for differences and diversity;
- behavioural: to learn how to act effectively and responsibly at local, national and global levels, for a more peaceful and sustainable world.
According to UNESCO, GCE is supposed to be transformative, as it helps students acquire the knowledge, skills, values and attitudes they need to help make the world more inclusive, just and peaceful.
