Global Learning Charter
Why sign the Global Learning Charter?
If your organisation believes that learning can help tackle some of the big issues that we collectively face such as climate change, intolerance and poverty then signing the Global Learning Charter will show your support. DEA will keep you up to date with a series of actions, events and activities to promote global education.
