A new space for Global Citizenship Education on SIDA’s website
Following our previous announcement that the International Development Education Association of Scotland (IDEAS) will officially become part of Scotland’s International Development Alliance (SIDA), we’re excited to introduce a new section on our website dedicated to Global Citizenship Education. As we integrate the IDEAS brand and website into SIDA, our site will become a hub for global citizenship education resources and news in Scotland. In addition to this online space, we’re collaborating to co-host the Global Citizenship Community, which you can explore and join here.
Thank you for supporting our efforts to advance global citizenship across Scotland. We’ll keep you informed with regular updates throughout the transition.
What is global citizenship?
We see global citizenship as a way of living that recognises our world as an increasingly complex web of connections and interdependencies. A world in which our choices and actions may have repercussions for people and communities locally, nationally or internationally.
