Scotdec Director Featured in The Scotsman

We’re delighted to share that our Director has been featured in The Scotsman, contributing to a national conversation on the importance of supporting Scotland’s young people to become active, compassionate global citizens.

The piece highlights how today’s learners are growing up in a world shaped by global challenges – from climate change to conflict and rising inequality – and why education must help them understand these issues with confidence, empathy and critical awareness. It echoes Scotdec’s long‑standing commitment to Global Citizenship Education, and the need for learning that connects local experiences with the wider world.

We’re proud to see this work recognised in the national press, and to continue supporting educators across Scotland to bring Global Citizenship into classrooms in meaningful and hopeful ways.

You can read the full opinion piece on The Scotsman website.
