GNDE Activities: Inviting Deans, Colleagues and Faculties to Participate

The strength of any association rests with the individual contributions of its members. The GNDE is taking this maxim to heart as we start out  by reaching out to individual Deans of Education, former or incoming Deans and other faculty members with an invitation to participate in or initiate GNDE activities and meetings. As well, individuals and faculties can simply sign up to our GNDE email list to be kept informed of global and UN initiatives as well as GNDE activities.

The benefits to GNDE from individual participation are obvious. The benefits to individual Deans, colleagues and faculties are:
  • receiving relevant and selected information on a regular or periodic basis
  • learning more about selected topics and trends through webinars and web meetings organized by GNDE or others
  • opportunities to comment on draft documents or initiatives being undertaken by UN and other global organizations through channels established by GNDE
  • hosting or participating in side meetings held in conjunction with
  • being able to publicize or organize a global initiative being sponsored by their faculties in cooperation with GNDE or its affiliated associations and networks

Be sure to sign up to the GNDE email list as a first step. If you have a suggestion or would like to share or initiate an activity with global implications, please contact our interim, volunteer web site coordinator Doug McCall.  The interim Chair of the GNDE network, prof Irma Eloff, may also be contacted for further details.
