One World Centre: Youth and Community

Helen Patrick joined the One World Centre in October 2005 as Development Education Worker for Youth & Community.  Most of her remit is to work on the project ‘Discovering and Shaping our World’, which is a three-year project funded by a mini-grant from the Department for International Development (DfID).  The aim of the project is to ensure a programme of active global citizenship within voluntary youth organisations in Dundee and the surrounding area, and make them aware of the support available from the One World Centre in terms of ideas and resources.  Details of progress on this project can be read in the Wider Community section of the Annual Report for 2005 – 6. 

Other areas of work include:

• Supporting Neighbourhood Centres in Dundee in promoting fair trade.  Details of activities carried out during Fairtrade Fortnight are highlighted here.

• Following up the demands made on politicians from the MAKEPOVERTYHISTORY campaign, particularly relating to trade justice and debt cancellation.

• Promoting other opportunities to make the public more aware of complex global issues such as Refugee Week and One World Week.

• Taking an active role in the Dundee Fair Trade Forum, which promotes the selling, buying and use of fairly traded products in the city.
