EDUCATION
Education
for change
If
education is to be part of a movement for change
towards a more sensitive way of living, it needs
to be more responsive to the real needs and interests
of individuals, and reflect the values that a
more sensitive way of living involves. The 'schooling'
system falls well short of this.
My
involvement: I am a member and supporter
of organisations working for change along the
lines expressed above. You can contact some of
these through the links on this site or get in
touch with me directly, if you would like further
information.
Development Education aims to
raise awareness and understanding of the effects
on life and societies resulting from the interaction
between local and global activities.
My
involvement: I have 10 years experience,
notably through adult and community education.
This time has also included being a member of
the Council of the Development Education Association
(DEA) - a UK national "umbrella" organisation
for groups and individuals involved in Development
Education. I have also served as a member of its
EU Advisory Committee
