The Centre for Global Education (CGE) was established in 1986 by eight development agencies to provide education services that will enhance awareness of international development issues. Its central remit is to challenge dominant stereotypes and commonly held perceptions of developing countries which are prevalent in our society. It aims to use education as a means of challenging the causes of poverty and inequality in both local and global contexts by working with all sectors of education.

Policy and Practice: A Development Education Review
CALL FOR CONTRIBUTORS!
The Centre for Global Education is pleased to announce the extension of its Capacity Building in Development Education project to April 2011. The project is funded by Irish Aid and consists of three components: an annual development education conference, bi-annual development education training workshops and the bi-annual publication of a development education journal: Policy and Practice: A Development Education Review.
The journal features four types of articles. Focus articles are up to 4,000 words and offer in-depth and critical examinations of themes related to current developments in DE policy and practice developments. Perspectives articles are up to 2,000 words and address a wider range of issues, focusing mostly on examples of good practice in DE. Viewpoint articles offer an individual perspective on a current topic or debate and intend to increase discussion on the topic. Review articles are 1,500 words in length and critcally assess new resources and publications designed for use in the development education sector.
We would like to invite academics and practitioners in the field of development education to submit article abstracts for consideration for the next two issues: Issue 7, Development Education and Research (September 2008); and Issue 8, Development Education and Public Awareness (March 2009). Issue 7 will address current research projects, the integration of problem-based learning into DE from various fields of education, new methodologies, and examples of good research practice in DE. Issue 8 will discuss DE deficits in lobbying and campaigning work in the development sector, looking at how to bridge the gap between bigger NGOs, European DE organisations (such as DEEEP), local umbrella organisations and small NGOs.
