Simple Changes #65
Promote leadership opportunities to your staff to understand global contexts
Problem
While the world may be increasingly interconnected, human rights violations, inequality and poverty still threaten peace and sustainability. UNESCO works by empowering learners of all ages to understand that these are global, not local issues and to become active promoters of more peaceful, tolerant, inclusive, secure and sustainable societies. Understanding how the world works and how our decisions have an impact on others, will make us better at work and at home. As a nation that aspires to be an outward looking nation and recognised for fairness and sustainability, taking part in international development activities demonstrates leadership and supports our role in being a Globally Responsible Nation.
Simple Change
By promoting International Learning Opportunities, you are offering your staff the opportunity to develop their own skills, whilst helping with global projects and making a real difference in developing countries.
