Who are we?
CDEC is a global learning charity. We work with schools and communities in and beyond Cumbria, inspiring, educating and enabling them to influence social and environmental justice in their world. Using a partnership approach, we deliver high-quality work for young people, with local and global reach.
“Cumbria as a beacon of global citizenship” is our vision – a place where young people, through their global learning experiences, become informed, responsible and active global citizens with a lifelong commitment to building a fairer and more sustainable world.

CRITICAL THINKING IN AN AGE OF DISINFORMATION
In the last decade, new digital technologies and systems have fundamentally transformed the way we engage with media, news and information. In that time, we have witnessed an increase in misinformation, disinformation, malinformation and online conspiracies as well as outcomes and consequences which are harmful for us as individuals, for our communities and for wider society. Children and young people can be particularly vulnerable and so it’s vital that they are supported to thrive in a changing world.
