Every month we comment on some global events and try to give you a development education perspective.

Looking at the occupy movements that are currently spreading over the Western world development educators could say:  “Is this not exactly what we have put into hundreds of funding applications and strategic plans as one of our main aims: Young active citizens acting for change. So let’s go home and celebrate the impact that we had and celebrate our success!” Well, there is a slight problem with the latter as it seems that the occupy movements happened without us and the work that we have been doing in development educators over the last decades.
