Educational work concerning development policy gives people in the so called “North” an understanding of development cooperation issues. The interest in and comprehension of complex global developments are to be boosted. In turn, it contributes to a critical reflection and refurbishment of those developments. Moreover, people are to be supported to discover own possibilities for participation.

 

In Austria, GEZA realizes educational work concerning development policy in the areas of information, education, science and culture. Alongside school and discussion events, GEZA organizes exhibitions about its projects in countries of the “South” and informs about the UN Development Millenium Goals, the complex of problems concerning Western Sahara as well as about important global issues such as health and HIV/AIDS.
