Budapest Declaration on DEAR Funding Cuts
Support Education for Global Citizenship:
Maintain Critical Funding
Advocate for Global Citizenship Education
We urge you to join organizations across Europe in supporting the Budapest Declaration and stand against the cuts to the EU’s DEAR (Development Education and Awareness Raising) programme. These cuts threaten vital educational initiatives focused on global justice, human rights, and sustainable development – issues that are more urgent than ever to shape a fair and just future for Europe and the world. By signing the Declaration, you will add your voice to the united call to reverse these cuts and secure long-term funding for Global Citizenship Education (GCE).
Why is your signature more important than ever?
In a world marked by crises, disinformation, and growing inequality, we must prepare young Europeans to engage as informed and responsible global citizens. Global Citizenship Education fosters empathy, solidarity, and active participation in civic life – values that are essential in times of political tension and social divisions.
By signing, you are standing up for the EU’s responsibility to prioritize global justice and the principles of a sustainable future. You are supporting civil society and demanding that the EU makes education for global citizenship a priority – especially in times of worldwide challenges.
How to sign:
- Enter your first and last name, along with your organization’s name.
- Confirm that you have the authority to sign on behalf of your organization by checking the box.
- Click “Submit.”
Your organization’s support is crucial to ensure that EU funding for Global Citizenship Education remains a priority and continues to be strengthened.
