🌍 Global Education is one of the core elements of WAVES Foundation for Global Education work, it's even in our name! But what GLOBAL EDUCATION actually is?

🎯 Global education is about understanding connections between people, communities, and countries beyond borders. It's about exploring cultures, human rights, challenges, responsibilities and sustainability both locally and globally.

🎯 Why does it matter?
The world is interconnected, and Global Education helps us navigate it.
It encourages us to think beyond borders, listen to others, and take action for a better world.

💚 Reach out to us if you want to learn more about global education and how you can implement it in your life, work, classroom.

🌱 What really supports young people’s wellbeing? 🌱
Youth wellbeing looks different in every setting, but some practices can make a real difference.

Within the framework of WELLBEING GENERATION project, we have collected best practices in that that can help youth workers to:
• Support young people’s mental health
• Prevent mental health challenges before they grow
• Respond to different needs and situations
• Create safer, more supportive spaces for young people

🌱 Supporting youth wellbeing isn’t about one solution. It’s about having the right tools, approaches and understanding for different young people and different situations.

👉 Explore the practices and discover what could work in your youth work setting.

🎬🎧 What if Global Citizenship Education felt as engaging as a favorite film, playlist, or game?

The POP.Ed Methodological Guidelines lay the foundation for exactly that — a practical approach connecting Global Citizenship Education, non-formal youth work, and pop culture formats young people already know and love. 🌍

The guidelines explore how films, music, social media, games, podcasts, and visual storytelling can become entry points for critical reflection, dialogue, and civic engagement.

This is just the beginning: a curriculum and training toolkit will follow, building on this foundation with more theoretical grounding and hands-on tools.

✨ Because sometimes the best way to talk about the world is through the stories we already love.

Body Liberation in Europe has launched a new podcast episode with Irene Maltez and together they explored how body shaming can appear as jokes, “compliments,” or comments supposedly made out of concern for someone’s health, and why these comments can have lasting effects on wellbeing and participation.

They talked about stress responses and also about practical strategies what to do in such situations both if you are shamed yourself, or see somebody else experiencing that.
