Development Education
Our activies are often described as Development Education or Education for Global Citizenship. As such, we challenge stereotypes, advocate equality in resource and power distribution, encourage sustainable development, promote peaceful solutions to conflicts, celebrate diversity, and help people to understand the causes of poverty and the complexity of the global issues we face.
