Grant is to promote international development education and awareness
A local charity has received a grant to further its work going forward.
The One World Centre has been awarded the £30,000 'International Development Education and Awareness Raising' (IDEAR) grant as part of the Isle of Man Government’s international development funding.
It aims to improve understanding in the Isle of Man of global issues and engage the community in sustainable development.
Over the past year, the Island’s international development donations have made contributions to humanitarian endeavours worldwide, supporting regions like Ukraine and East Africa.
Applications for the grant opened in April 2023, with Isle of Man registered charities and organisations asked to design an education programme to raise awareness within the community on international development issues.
As recipients of the grant, the One World Centre will deliver the education programme over the next 12 months.
The programme includes a Charity Challenge in schools and the Global Village at Tynwald Day 2024.
They are both aimed at promoting awareness and responsible living for a better world.
