One World Centre 25th Anniversary

Tonight I attended a Civic Reception to mark the 25th anniversary of the Dundee One World Centre. As regular readers will know I have a particular interest in international development and I was pleased to be able to support the work of the One World Centre. The centre works with schools to develop international citizenship but unlike other similar centres in Scotland the Dundee one also works with the public. In the modern world we are all neighbours and it is important that we ensure that treat everyone as we would wish to be treated ourselves. Poverty can be a cause of international conflict, if we promote international social and economic justice we are in effect promoting international peace.

Well done to everyone who has been involved with the One World Centre over the last 25 years.
