Development Education is an active learning process that aims to:

• enable people to understand the links between their own lives and those of people throughout the world
  
  
• increase the understanding of the economic, social, political and environmental forces that shape our lives
  
  
• develop skills, attitudes and values that enable people to work together to bring about change and take control of their own lives
  
  
• contribute to the development of a more just and more sustainable world, in which power and resources are more equitably shared.
