Development Education Definition


Development Education – Definition from Irish Aid  "An educational process aimed at increasing awareness and understanding of the rapidly changing, interdependent and unequal world in which we live. It seeks to engage people in analysis, reflection and action for local and global citizenship and participation. It is about supporting people in understanding, and in acting to transform the social, cultural, political and economic structures which affect their lives and other at personal, community, national and international levels"


Irish Aid's definition clarifies that it is both about understanding our unequal world and about engaging and acting to transform the world.
