KADE T/A Kerry One World Centre

KADE exists to create, through education, an understanding of development issues relating to world poverty. We establish and support Development Education measures, which will promote the development of a critical awareness across the community of local, national, and international situations based on an understanding of culture, and social, economic, and political processes- which impact on the existence of poverty, social injustice, exclusion, etc. By working with communities, schools, universities, young people and other key sectors in civil society, we aim to mobilise people toward action. We maintain a resource library and provide on-the-ground support for teachers, trainers and learners engaging with global development issues and issues of social justice and human rights such as climate change and fair trade. We support learners to integrate DE into their activities and we engage directly with the public through events aimed at raising awareness, knowledge and skills. Our centre functions also as a regional support structure for national DE programmes and participates in European projects and we continue to develop and expand our European Projects and Transnational Mobility Unit. These projects enable us to further our reach in promoting Development Education.
