Young people are a powerful force for change. Through development education we want to help schools, teachers and young people become more informed and aware of our world.
By understanding the issues and opportunities other young people around the world are facing, and seeing the influences and causes behind situations, young people are able to judge for themselves how best to create positive change.
Plan’s development education work includes:
- Promoting knowledge and information about the world and development issues.
- Helping young people gain skills and attributes that help them understand and relate to that information.
- Fostering platforms and spaces for action, whether that be a connection to young people in another country, a campaign, a connection to an MP or a stage on which young people can express their own views and ideas.
Plan’s development education programme has had a positive impact and achieved a reputation for high quality built on the input of our stakeholders and schools.
