Continuing the previous projects, social mapping remains the action-research methodology for identifying and digitally mapping ECG experiences carried out at the different educational levels in Galicia. The novelty of this third phase is the inclusion of the university stage. We intend to identify at least 30 experiences in pre-university education and at least 12 in the university stage. 

Furthermore, with this project we are initiating a new line of work, with the collaborative design of a guide for the identification and evaluation of good practices that link ESD with the curriculum. This interest and concern for embedding the global dimension of education in the curriculum is also present in the university training for which the group’s researchers are responsible, seeking to extend it to the Practicum and Final Year Project (TFG) modules as well.  

The visibility and recognition of ECG initiatives remains a priority objective, and one of the project’s actions is to update and publish a new call for the Galician ECG award. This is complemented by the new edition of the ECG workshops, a space for meeting and collaborative work, where experiences can be exchanged and new possibilities explored for ECG to gain a greater presence in training. 

Finally, the transfer of the generated knowledge accompanies the entire process, materialising in the design of a MOOC on ECG, the presentation of papers at various forums and congresses, and the publication of articles in specialised journals.
