The Development Education Summer School is a week-long learning and exchange event for representatives of NGOs from the European Union, Candidate Countries and Economically Less Developed Countries (ELCDs - the so-called "South"), co-financed by the European Commission through the DEEEP project.. It is meant for practitioners who want to initiate or strengthen actions to put eradication of global poverty and social inclusion on the political agenda through development education, advocacy, campaigns.

The DESS is an event whereby we aim to bring together people with different background, experience, age, culture and language and to enable sharing, increase synergies, foster partnership. Beginners are as welcome as experts and they will be evenly distributed in all the working sessions.

The DESS is a complex process where the learning is ensured by a mix of methodologies and activities designed in a coherent way to allow the participants achieve the expected results. Content and specific methodology of each activity are as important as the sequence proposed and the link between them.
