Here is for you the new updated version of the DE advocacy toolkit!

How to convince decision makers to support development education? The brand new DEEEP Advocacy Toolkit provides solid arguments and strategic advice on how to promote development education towards politicians, state authorities and within civil society organisations.

It consists of three parts:

Arguments recalls the definition of development education and its relation to other fields like global learning or citizenship education. It outlines in eight arguments why development education is mportant and provides links to more detailed background information. Furthermore, it gives an overview on the situation of global education strategies and funding in Europe.
 
Methods is a training module on advocacy strategy planning, including tips for successful lobbying and practical advice on meeting with decision makers.
 
Examples shows three successful advocacy processes which led to better recognition of development education: The European multi stakeholder process, the way towards a national DE strategy in Spain and the strengthened support of the Polish government for DE.
 

The toolkit is YOURS!! If you wish, you can translte it and adapt it in other languages. Just make a reference to DEEEP, and send us the translated version. We will upload it on the website, so that other NGOs from your country can use it as well!
