The Rural GCE project intends to help address the imbalance, where it exists, between urban and rural areas and how citizenship is taught and approached in these areas. It will research and consider rurality and rural issues in the chosen countries, issues around global citizenship education, how it is taught, and how all these concepts might intersect. Once these issues have been identified and elaborated on, the project then aims to create a comprehensive learning motivational environment through which resources and training materials can be easily accessed, allowing teachers and other relevant stakeholders to better impart global citizenship practices and values in a more engaging and comprehensive way.The project has the following objectives:
-To develop a course that caters to these difficulties as well as building on the areas of strength
-To develop a learning motivational environment that imparts useful skill and knowledge to users in an accessible and engaging way
-To create a community of practice for teachers and other educators through a virtual network that they can use to share knowledge, practices, and the project results themselves
