Challenging Stereotypes. Encouraging independent thinking
Through our Global Citizenship programme, we aim to empower a generation of Global Citizens to critically reflect on and better understand how our world is interconnected.
Through education, engagement and skills training we want to ensure that children, young people and adults believe that a fairer, more equal, and sustainable world is possible. A world where the UN Sustainable Development Goals can be realised.
Fostering Global Citizenship
Empowering the next generation
We're committed to strengthening our engagement with the general public and society leaders, with the aim of empowering people to understand and act in accordance with a fairer and more sustainable future for all.
Using the evidence and insights of our work and by amplifying the voices of the communities with whom we work, we seek to enhance the knowledge, attitudes, values and skills of young people, students, teachers, leaders and duty-bearers on the role they can play in addressing the causes and consequences of poverty and inequality.
GOAL Discussion papers
Working across 13 countries, we use insights from our programmes to amplify the voices of the vulnerable communities we work with.
GOAL produces position and discussion papers highlighting key issues and opportunities to strengthen national and international policies and systems. This advocacy work helps to ensure the communities we support can live more resilient lives in a more equal, fair and sustainable world.
