The work of the Center for Global Education in Central America began in 1981 with travel seminars designed to study the nature of the region’s political, economic and social upheavals. With the changes brought about by globalization, the world currently faces a development crisis with large portions of the world’s population excluded from effective participation in economic and political decision making. In this context Central America provides a unique opportunity to explore the global situation through the eyes of the Third World and their efforts to create alternatives.
Over the years we have developed and maintained contacts with broad sectors of society from a variety of perspectives. These include grassroots organizations, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and government ministries working on health, education, rural development, the environment, alternative economic policies, etc.
We have contacts with international NGOs, donor organizations, multilateral banks, alternative credit organizations and other professional development workers.
We regularly meet with various political parties as well as the U.S. Embassy, U.S.A.I.D., local political scientist and analysts, as well as local international journalists.
