One World

In December International Human Solidarity Day takes place with a focus on compassion and cooperation. Solidarity is an awareness of shared interests that create a sense of unity and moves us to support and act collectively be it in our local communities or further afield. In this issue we provide and reflect on ways to cultivate these feelings of compassion, solidarity and shared values. Our new feature focusses on developing anti-racist practice, and we also hear from Jordan Daly, Co-Founder and Co-Director of Time for Inclusive Education, who highlights the importance of representation and creating inclusive school curriculums.

Our activities section showcases activities exploring human rights for all ages including an activity which enables young people to explore and identify their shared values.
