Development education is an educational process aimes at increasing awareness and understanding of the rapidly changing interdependent and unequal world in which we live. It seeks to engage people in analysis, reflection and action for local and global citizenship and participation. It is about supporting people in understanding and acting to transform the social, cultural, political and econnomic structures which affect our lives at personal, community national and international levels.

The Development Education Committee held a #ClimateStrike outside our school this morning, 20th September 2019, to support the strikes happening across the world to highlight the urgent need to fight climate change.
