World University Service

The World University Service (WUS) is an international, politically and confessionally independent organization composed of students, educators, and staff in the education sector. With a presence in over 50 countries worldwide, WUS is an important player in the field of education and development.

• Educational projects and campaigns: WUS participates in national and international campaigns in the education and development sector. An example of this is the "Global Education Week," which takes place annually under a Europe-wide education motto and highlights the importance of education for an inclusive and sustainable world[2][4].
• Consultations and projects: The organization offers consultations and conducts various projects focused on global learning, human rights, and sustainable development.
• Certification programs: WUS offers, for example, the project "Grenzenlos – Global Learning in Vocational Education," in which students from different countries are certified to work as "Facilitator for Global and Intercultural Education" in vocational schools[3].

The main mission of WUS is to promote the human right to education and strengthen an international community committed to inclusive and sustainable education. WUS stands for the values of diversity, inclusion, and respect for all people, regardless of their origin or background.

• Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): WUS integrates the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations into its teaching concepts and projects. This ensures that WUS's educational work contributes to global sustainability[3].
• Global Learning: The organization promotes global learning through various programs and initiatives aimed at preparing students and educators for the challenges and opportunities of globalization.
• Development Cooperation: WUS works closely with international partners and organizations to highlight the importance of education in development cooperation and to monitor the relevant expenditures of OECD countries[2].

• Global Education Week 2024: Under the motto "Connected People for an inclusive Planet," the Europe-wide Global Education Week will take place from November 18 to 24, 2024, aiming to promote inclusive and sustainable education[2].
• Grenzenlos Activists: WUS regularly certifies new Grenzenlos activists who work in vocational schools and convey the topics of sustainability and human rights[3].

The World University Service (WUS) is thus a central platform for promoting education, human rights, and sustainable development on a global level. Through its diverse projects and initiatives, WUS makes an important contribution to creating a more inclusive and sustainable world.
