Global Link and the Local Community
In the past Global Link has run global youth work sessions with trainee youth and community workers at St. Martin's College in Lancaster and run interactive workshops on Fairtrade and refugees with local youth groups.
Between 1997 and 2003 Global Link co-ordinated public events in Lancaster to celebrate One World Week, and between 2001 - 2004 we co-ordinated events for Refugee Week, Human Rights Day and Fairtrade Fortnight. These have included talks, workshops, food, exhibitions, displays and stalls. In 2004, with the support of a steering group, we co-ordinated Lancaster and District's first Diversity Festival.
