The network's core values are based on the idea that:
- There is a list of key problems in this era that is shared by all people all around the world and these are the focus of global education and can through teaching enhance the students' ability to take a stand, grow empathy towards other cultures, co-operate and be creative
- Globalization holds many possibilities, but also challenges to address, reflect upon and act upon

- Students from 14 to 20 years of age are the ideal group to focus on in order to open their minds towards global issues
