ONE WORLD NETWORK NORTH EAST was set up in February 2002, to support teachers in schools in the North East
region of England in building a global dimension in their school curriculum.
Across the UK, in every region and all four countries, there is a similar initiative,
identified as 'Enabling Effective Support' or EES which you can find out more about from the Development Education Association,
DEA.
