Global Issues Resource Center and Library at Cuyahoga Community College is partnering with colleges and universities, and local, national, and international non-governmental and governmental organizations to host this year’s conference which builds upon the Inter-American Summit on CRE 2007, the International Summit on CRE, Youth and Conflict: Global Challenges – Local Strategies 2008, and the policy meeting Collaboration across Fields: Implementation and Sustainability of SEL, CRE, Peace Education (PE), and Citizenship Education (CE) 2009. These earlier conferences brought together government representatives from among the 50 states, around the globe, and their non-governmental organization partners who have legislation or policies in place to deliver CRE/SEL/PE and Civics Education at the K-12 level and in universities.  Conference and meeting publications are available at:  http://www.creducation.org/cre/global_cre/
