About Leeds DEC
As the world becomes increasingly interdependent, we believe that every person has the right to understand and actively take part in the process of development and change which affects their lives. To enable this to happen, our mission is to:
-
- Engage individuals in global learning to promote critical awareness of personal, local and global development
-
- Empower individuals to participate in the process of sustainable global development and in decision making at all levels of society
-
- Challenge and change the values, attitudes and structures which reinforce global poverty and inequality
April 2025: Notice to all our friends and supporters - Leeds DEC will shortly be changing our name to Global Learning Leeds. As part of the change we are looking to update our constutution which is currently as it was written in 1991.
Many aspects of the social, educational and funding contexts in which the organisation works have changed substantially since the original constitution was drafted. The Staff and Trustees of the DEC are thus planning to redraft the constitution, in line with Charity Commission guidelines, to better reflect the existing structure of the organisation and the activities in which it now engages.
If you have any questions about or comments on the above decision, please contact us before May 31st 2025.
