This Events calendar lists Global Dimension training, conferences and learning and sharing opportunities.

Lifelong Learning for a Just and Sustainable World. DEA and Campaign for Learning believe that a lifelong approach to learning for a just and sustainable world can contribute to positive change for individuals and society. Such global learning can increase individual agency and esteem, engage people in civic life, build support for international development and encourage community cohesion. We also believe that there is much to be gained from sharing developments and good practice in supporting learning about global issues across different settings and age phases, from primary schools to universities to community centres.

This event will be held at the The Mechanics' Institute, Manchester and will bring together experts from different learning contexts to lead an exploration of what works in supporting lifelong global learning. Confirmed speakers and workshop facilitators include experienced practitioners from Oxfam, NIACE, Development Education Project Manchester, Development Education Centre South Yorkshire, Y Care International and Nottingham Trent University.
