The European Centre for Global Interdependence and Solidarity, more commonly known as the North-South Centre, defines global education as “education that opens people’s eyes and minds to the realities of the globalised world and awakens them to bring about a world of greater justice, equity and Human Rights for all.”
Hence the Razem Pamoja Foundation educational projects are most often based on cooperation between students from Poland and those from the global South, creating the best conditions for transmitting knowledge of structures and injustices of the current world, but also deepening the youth’s democratic involvement in building a better future.
Cooperating, students, teachers and social workers of the global South cease to be passive recipients, while those of the global North – equally passive donators. A partnership develops, in which both sides mutually help and learn from each other. The aid dimension is by no means secondary in the activities of the Razem Pamoja Foundation. All our educational and artistic projects contribute measurable material benefits to our collaborating communities of the South - thanks to e.g. the RazemPamoja Scholarship Fund for primary and secondary school students from Mathare Slum, Nairobi, our reconstruction of the Macco School in Mathare Slum, workshops and activities taking place in schools and kindergartens, and the programmes of the Mathare Art Gallery in Nairobi and the Sesama in Yogyakarta.
