Centre For Global Education

The Centre for Global Education was established in 1986 to provide education services that enhance local awareness of international development issues. Its central remit is to provide learning that will enable individuals and organisations to address the causes of poverty, inequality and injustice at local and global levels. Global education equips learners to understand the cultural, economic, social and political influences on their lives that result from our society's growing interdependence and global connections. It also provides learners with the skills, values, knowledge and understanding necessary to facilitate action that will contribute to poverty eradication both locally and globally.Global education practice is based on active learning methodologies that facilitate sustainable engagement with development issues and encourage an action outcome. The Centre for Global Education provides training and resources to local target groups that tailor global education content and practice to their needs. Our target groups include schools, community organisations, universities and academics, and minority ethnic groups. CGE activities include training delivery, the production of resources, advocacy for global education and capacity building. Our current work includes publishing a bi-annual, peer reviewed global education journal called Policy and Practice, and the delivery of accredited training. To find out more visit our web site at
