London Development Education Schools Group
London Development Education Schools Group - LDESG
This is an informally-constituted meeting of education staff from the global NGOs specialising in international development and human rights. It provides an information exchange and focussed discussion of common interests for staff based in London. They attend in a personal capacity rather than representing their organisation. Recently, this has included the issue of approaches to volunteers, fund-raising in schools and work with ITE.
