IDEA Annual Conference 2022

The Future of Global Citizenship: educating for a changing world


Date: 21 & 22 June

We are living in a time of great change. From the upheaval of the Covid 19 pandemic, to the push for systemic change to tackle racism and the climate emergency. Technology is allowing people to connect and mobilise around issues in a way that hasn’t been seen previously in history, but this is also fuelling an increase in polarisation and division.


The rapid response to the pandemic has shown that positive change can be achieved quickly, if the will is there. However, the scale of the challenges we face can be overwhelming.


We need to be effective and collective in our response. This will require skills that support interconnected global learning, critical thinking and effective action. 


At this year’s conference we will be exploring:

  • What’s the role for Development Educators in the coming years? 
  • What changes do we need to make to respond effectively to what’s coming down the line?
  • What skills will be needed?


Join us 21&22 June to discuss these questions and more.
