Foreword & Acknowledge ments This document should be regarded as a guide for understanding and practising global education, also as a pedagogical coaching tool to help establish global education approaches where they do not yet exist and enrich existing ones. Its content was set up taking into account in-field practices and references and cultural, geographic, social and economic realities. It has been written on the premise that educational processes in formal and non-formal settings should open the path to a better understanding of an increasingly globalised world. It also raises important issues about the professional responsibilities of educators and teachers and the role of schools and different organisations and institutions in raising global awareness and knowledge on worldwide issues across the curriculum and in non-formal projects and activities. The authors wish to express their satisfaction with the participatory process leading to the writing of these guidelines and the opportunity to discuss and contribute to the development of Global Education, as the Global Education Guidelines reflect the perspectives of many different stakeholders. It was both challenging and enriching to incorporate different and sometimes opposing views and opinions into the document. Thanks to all of those who have contributed in one way or another to make this document a reality, namely the members of the Global Education Week network and partners who have kindly accepted to act as critical friends.
