We are delighted to be part of a new partnership between Scotland’s International Development Alliance (SIDA) and the International Development Education Association Scotland (IDEAS). With a shared a vision and understanding of the critical importance of engaging Scottish society with Global Citizenship, we believe that an informed, engaged public has the potential to drive significant global change, take effective action and hold governments to account.

One of the first actions has been to co-host the Global Citizenship Community, a Scotland wide cross-sectoral community of practice. It will bring together organisations and individuals across sectors and communities in Scotland to advance Global Citizenship. If you, your organization or local authority would like to join the group please get in touch.
