What we offer:
PIDEC is a unique education centre because it works with Asian and
African students living at Pestalozzi who are able to share first-hand
about their home countries and experiences of development. This
centre is staffed by teachers and environmentalist and act as an
education link between Pestalozzi International Village and the
wider community.
PIDEC also provides support
to teachers and students on global citizenship, human rights, multicultural
issues, anti-racism and sustainable development linked to the National
Curriculum and OFSTED requirements. The staff can offer materials,
information and advice as well as INSET courses, workshops and activities
that can take place at the Village, in schools or other venues.
PIDEC works with the
public organising an annual event each June to celebrate cultural
diversity. They work closely with various community groups to help
develop international understanding and co-operation.
