The Visegrad Regional Seminar on Global Development Education took place in Prague on the 24th and 25th of March, 2011. Representatives of ministries, state agencies, schools, NGOs and other organizations active in the GDE field in the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia gathered in Prague to discuss concepts, perspectives, methodologies and strategies of GDE together with renowned experts from non-Visegrad countries.
