What We Do

The Trust aims to increase understanding between developing and developed countries, through the effective use of media, and to highlight how in today’s globalised world, all nations are inter-dependent.
 
To this end, the Trust seeks to raise awareness of global human rights, social and development issues – from poverty and debt to education, good governance and freedom of expression.  

“After September 11th, 2001, is there anyone out there who failed to see the importance of understanding the world beyond these islands?”
