Tide~ global learning is a teachers' network and a charity that promotes the idea that young people have an entitlement to global learning.  Strategically the core idea has been about teachers and other education practitioners coming together to engage with global issues … and the needs of learners in that context.  The primary driver has been about the professional role of teachers and quality learning and offering 'creative spaces' for work on curriculum development and learning approaches.  That remains our priority. See - Space for teacher creativity

The idea of building a Network Hub is a current priority.  Key elements include:

∆  a core structure bringing together people, including Trustees, to maintain and develop Tide~;

∆  seeking donations for a core budget to enable a sustainable approach, not dependent on project funding; 

∆ re-establishing Tide~ membership

∆  developing The Elephant Times magazine and ET Projects to enable new ways of working.

The pamphlet 'A new vision for 2021' outlines this thinking. It is the basis for current plans.

The management and co-ordination of Tide~ is the responsibility of the Trustees who are elected from Membership.  

The History in Brief  outlines how Tide~ evolved since 1975.  This website is an archive of some of that work.  It offers a range of resources to be reviewed or downloaded.  It also seeks to provide a focus and stimulus for new network creativity.  

Recent events including the closing of the Tide~ Centre at Millennium Point and the loss of funding led to a review as described in 'Tide~ Vision'  [2016 AGM].  

See also 'Notes to stimulate a conversation' from the 2017 AGM.

'What is it about Tide~ and elephants' was produced at the end of 2020 as a bit of serious fun to welcome 2021.  

It was an opportunity to revisit the elephant jigsaw and share some thoughts. 

It also helped set the scene for regenerating the Tide~ network. 

Teachers in development education [Tide~] is the official working name of Development Education Centre [Birmingham] Ltd.
