Cyfanfyd is a national membership organisation working to promote education for sustainable development and global citizenship (ESDGC) in Wales. We support organisations working in all fields of education helping them to incorporate a global dimension into their work.
Our aim is the creation of a confident and outward looking Wales in which all have an understanding of their rights and responsibilities as global citizens.
Cyfanfyd is active in the fields of global youth work, lifelong learning and the formal school-based education.
Cyfanfyd also acts as a representative lobbying organisation to ensure that global learning remains a priority for government organisations in Wales.
Cyfanfyd membership is open to any organisation interested in global citizenship education.
