One World Centre

Our Core Beliefs
it’s our mission to encourage understanding and respect for the lives and cultures of all people – so that we can help to share a fair society that celebrates our global differences and interdependence.
Development Education
Development education empowers people right here on the island to look at the global picture, and to realise they have an important part to play in it. It’s not about aspiring to have more, but to be more. It creates global citizens; people who live and work in their own communities and yet, by their actions and lifestyles, bring about justice and equality globally.
Campaigning
Making our voices heard, and standing up for those who are ignored or marginalised, is an important part of global citizenship. Climate change, ethical shopping, contemporary slavery, poverty, overseas aid… the list of things we help to highlight keeps on growing.
Networking
To help make sure important messages get out there loud and clear, we constantly network with more than 20 local voluntary organisations on issues we’re all passionate about. We are proud members of The Global Learning Network, an alliance of development education and global learning centres in the UK.
