Issues of food, energy, trade, community, inclusion, peace, justice, the environment, all require an awareness and understanding of our relationship with the world.

The consequences of our actions cannot be understood without a global perspective.

To safeguard our future and to ensure the tackling of injustice and inequality, we must consciously act in the global arena, taking responsibility for what we do with the belief that we can make a change.

“Be the change you wish to see in the world.” Gandhi

“The vast majority of pupils (81%) believe that it is important to learn about global issues at school and that young people need to understand global matters in order to make choices about how they want to lead their lives.” MORI survey on children’s knowledge of Global Issues, 1998
