The second edition of the Guidelines to Produce Development Education and Global Citizenship Education Resources expands on the first edition and aims to support the skills, awareness and confidence of resource writing teams. This edition, in particular:

Introduces the Sustainable Development Goals as a framework that contributes towards education for sustainable development.
Introduces guidance notes on project roles, working with partners and sustainability.
Presents an expanded set of scaffolding for interventions, participation, actions, piloting
resources and monitoring, evaluation and impact measurement.
Shares a database of online indicators that act as a support to resource production
teams.
Includes a summary checklist for reviewing activities and tasks completed.

The second edition was developed thanks to the many interactions and contributions made
through open consultation events, such as the online consultation event, open call for submissions
as well as critical feedback throughout thanks to the editorial group.

This edition also highlights recent innovations in education methods and tools that champion critical thinking and reflection, such as:

Led by indigenous artists and researchers in Canada and Brazil, Gesturing Towards
Decolonial Futures is a transformative framework that supports depth education by
identifying and de-activating colonial habits of being, and to gesture towards the possibility of decolonial futures.
A guide to ethical storytelling, based on Africa No Filter’s ethical journalism projects.
The Code of Good Practice for Development Education and its potential to model good
practice through resource production projects.
