GLEN is a joint non-profit, politically independent initiative of twelve organizations from old and new member states of the European Union.

GLEN aims at contributing to a better understanding of global interdependency, fair and sustainable ways of living, to a responsible development policy and to North-South relations based upon equal partnership and mutual respect.

1. GLEN offers an advanced training and experience program for young European global education multipliers. This program consists of training seminars, a 3 month project-based stay in Africa, Asia or South East Europe and awareness raising and global education activities in Europe.

2. GLEN builds connections between people and organisations working in global education in Europe and provides them with spaces for creative exchange and for developing new ideas together.

3. GLEN raises public awareness and understanding of global development issues and of the interdependence of the life of people in Europe and developing/transition countries. GLEN therewith supports Europeans' informed action as responsible global citizens.
