Global Action Week 2011
WHAT IS GLOBAL ACTION WEEK
Global Action Week is the most campaign intensive part of the GCE calendar with national educational coalitions preparing for up to nine months in advance to ensure that the week has maximum impact on decision makers. Since its inception, Global Action Week participation has grown from 2 million people in 2003 to over 15 million in 2010.
Global Action Week 2011 will take place from 25-30 April. The 2011 focus is women and girls' education.
We will shortly provide campaigners with a planning pack to assist with preparations for the 2011 Global Action Week planning pack.
