About the Centre of Expertise

A world where everyone has the opportunity to fully participate in society – that’s what we at the Centre of Expertise Global & Inclusive Learning are dedicated to create. We believe that learning is a lifelong journey for everyone. Our goal is to help people and organizations in education and international institutions to make meaningful changes in the systems they work in. By doing practical research and using new ways of thinking, we aim to build a more fair and sustainable world.

Our mission is to empower people and communities to take shared responsibility for a just and sustainable future. We focus on both formal and informal ways of learning and decision-making at different levels, from local to global. We believe that cooperation and equality are key to achieving this mission. Our work covers important topics like learning and development, inclusion, work participation, technology, rights, and governance. Through our efforts, we hope to contribute to a better and more inclusive educational landscape.
