Local support
If you can't find the resource you are looking for on this website, or would like further assistance in bringing the global dimension into your teaching, why not contact your local Development Education Centre (DEC)?
DECs are independent local centres that raise the profile of global issues and encourage positive local action for global change. They aim to lighten the workload and increase people's knowledge and understanding by providing:
- learning programmes
- training and workshops
- resources libraries
- talks and lessons
- support and advice
- teaching ideas.
To find out how your local DEC can support teaching, why not give them a call or visit their website?
DECs are listed below according to region. They are also organised regionally into DFID 'Enabling Effective Support' (EES) networks and the regional contacts are provided below.
