Global Collective - the next generation
20 young people from across the country came together last weekend to train as Global Peer Educators and to join the Global Collective, DEA's youth network that supports the Global Youth Action project
DEA is an education charity that promotes global learning.
Our national network of member organisations and supporters share our conviction that the role of education today is crucial in shaping a better tomorrow.
For learners and society to flourish in a world which faces such issues as global poverty, climate change and racial and religious tensions, DEA believes that education should put learning in a global context, fostering:
- critical and creative thinking;
- self-awareness and open-mindedness towards difference;
- understanding of global issues and power relationships; and
- optimism and action for a better world.
We work to change both what people learn and how they learn, through influencing policy and improving educators' practice. Our primary focus is on schools and teacher training including a resource website for teachers, and global youth work.
On 11 June 2008 DEA will be publishing Global Matters, a prospectus featuring case studies of global learning from schools and communities across the country, with a foreword and endorsement from the Prime Minister.
We are currently working with MORI to research young peoples' views on global learning and the effect it has on them. We will shortly be publishing the results of this along with a discussion paper.
