Aims and Mission

The Centre's Mission Statement

The Centre for Global Education believes in and works towards a just and equitable world. We seek to promote an understanding of the interdependency of people across the world.

We will achieve excellence in our practice through the participation of users in our work and engagement with the increasingly diverse communities living in our society.
Our mission is to use education to challenge the causes of global poverty both locally and globally through action at all levels and in all sectors of society.
