Think Global - promoting education for a sustainable and just world

Global Dimension

quote The world we have created is a product of our thinking; it cannot be changed without changing our thinking. quote

Albert Einstein

Think Global is a membership charity that works to educate and engage people about global issues.

We work with schools, businesses and NGOs to help people learn how they can play a part in creating a more just and sustainable world.

 

Our members share our vision that everyone should have opportunities to understand the global challenges we face and develop the capabilities to create a more just and sustainable world. 

 

Think Global's members include many development and environment NGOs, as well as a network of Development Education Centres, schools, universities and others.
