Moving Education Research Spaces Europe Forward
Since 2005, CGE Erfurt e.V. has implemented educational programs that place learners and communities as active agents of their learning processes
Through research, cooperation, and long-term engagement, we work with the spaces of social entrepreneurship, urban planning, climate action, migrant civic engagement, and more.
Our projects are supported by:
European Dimension within Non-Formal Education
For 17 years, CGE Erfurt e.V. has worked with a broad range of educators to develop peer-to-peer, non-formal, experiential learning experiences that place learners as active agents of their learning processes
Identifying challenges
Our projects undertake needs-analysis through a participatory approach with impacted communities.
Research & Analysis
Formal research, from desk-based, to action-based, inform all stages of our project lifecycles.
Work with target groups
Peer-to-peer learning is a key methodology used during activities; our target groups often co-implement.
Working Locally and Globally
CGE works locally in Erfurt, Germany, on a long-term basis, and manages global cooperations in Uzbekistan and the Philippines. We see new partnerships as an opportunity to bring our skills into new sectors and spaces, with the opportunity to cooperate on innovative projects.
Non-Formal Education
Project implementation takes place through diverse methods, such as training courses, seminars, workshops, study visits, exchanges, volunteer services, focus groups, conferences, forums and other formats with local regional, national, European and international partners through non-formal education.
We aim to encourage a peer-to-peer learning environment, that transcends national borders, social backgrounds, and work towards a shared identity as engaged citizens of Europe and the world at large.
Gamified learning experiences
Experiential Learning
Peer-to-Peer learning
Learning from experiences of one another is one of the key elements in our work
