About Generation Global
Generation Global is the Tony Blair Institute’s global citizenship education programme.

Our training programmes are focused on educators in both formal and in-formal settings, ranging from secondary teachers in government and private schools, to community leaders and volunteers. Generation Global offers both in-person and virtual workshops that are highly interactive and experiential to support educators in learning dialogue theory and practice.

Train the trainer sessions may also be offered to support capacity building within learning communities and to aid youth leaders in collaborating with their peers.
