East London Active Citizens Programme

The purpose of the Active Citizens programme is to develop intercultural dialogue and global citizenship with the guiding principle ‘globally connected, locally engaged’.  It will contribute to positive social change within communities and to global sustainable development, by establishing an enduring global network of leaders who as influencers in their communities’ dialogue, learn and act together to address global and local issues.

The East London Active Citizens programme will include:

•  A five day high quality training programme in Active Citizenship and Global Youth Work
