deed
GREAT BRITAIN

DEED is a Global Education and Learning Centre serving Hampshire and Dorset. Since 1983 we have been supporting teachers and young people to explore how our lives are interconnected and interdependent with people and places across the globe. We empower people to ensure these connections are fair, just and sustainable. Currently our work is focussed on two main areas - multicultural education and environmental sustainability, in particular working with schools and the community on local, community activism projects related to re-thinking and reducing single-use plastics.

Let's build our places together.

The PLACE project puts children at the heart of the action as they respond to their community’s needs through Place Based Learning and active citizenship. Our project invites children to free their imaginations in order to lead with outdoor practical action in rebuilding from the Covid crisis. From engaging with businesses to reduce plastic, to designing and creating therapeutic garden spaces for all to enjoy, to creating a Quest for young families, our children can make meaningful interventions as active citizens in their community. It is led by CDEC in UK, funded by Erasmus and will involve partners in Dorset UK, Czech Republic, Slovakia.
