Communities

Membership of CDEC offers community groups, and the individuals leading them, support, resources and training in a whole plethora of topics and areas related to our place on the planet and our role within our local community.

This has never been more important now as we continue to face the effects of Coronavirus within our localities. 

You can pay for your subscription through the link to PayPal (above) or by requesting an invoice.

What do you offer communities and their groups?

We are adapting ourselves, and have taken a careful look at what member benefits we can offer communities. Take a look below to see what we offer you - we have worked on how we can support you remotely and have some new ways to help you teach global learning within the school for the good of your community's people.

Our resource boxes are a great tool and we are developing:

• a quarantine and cleaning regime for them so that there is no chance of the virus being passed between groups through the artefacts (if you have any particular ways we have to do this for your community group, please let us know)
• virtual boxes so that you can get the benefit of all the activities and information easily without having a physical box. 

Take a look at our full list of resources plus how the Sustainable Development Goals fit into them.

CDEC's gives you opportunities to get together with other global-focused groups – be it teachers or individuals from other communities or organisations; our experts can give you advice on creating welcoming communities.
