About NEAD

We live in an interdependent world.

Everyone is affected by global issues such as trade, conflict, global warming, racism and many others. They touch our lives, no matter where we live and work.

We are all connected

NEAD (Norfolk Education & Action for Development) is a Development Education Centre based in Norwich, Norfolk (UK). NEAD works locally towards a more just and equal world by promoting awareness and action on global issues. Our aim is to show the links — environmental, economic, cultural, historical — which exist between people, and by doing so raise awareness of the inequalities in our world and increase understanding of their causes. We also aim to promote ways in which all of us can take action to create a more just and sustainable world.

NEAD — Working locally for global justice and equality

NEAD — undertakes a wide range of educational activities with schools, youth groups, and community and church organisations.

We are a membership organisation. Becoming a member of NEAD is a great way to support our work, keep in touch with our activities and access information on development issues. Members can borrow resources from both our own library, and that of the Greenhouse, and receive three newsletters per year.

NEAD is a member of the Development Education Association (DEA) and one of a network of more than forty development education centres throughout the UK.

We are based in Norwich and have been operating for more than thirty years.
