We will recruit from educators working with or for IFWEA affiliates and their partner organisations. The four-month Global Educators Development certificate course will feature a curated set of FSSC courses, and participants will also design their own online course. It will draw together participants on a regular basis to engage with one another and Secretariat educators.
