Overview

Description

Welcome to DEAR - the EU's Development Education and Awareness Raising Programme.

Illustration of a diverse group of people, including individuals with disabilities, gathered in front of a large screen displaying the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The text reads: 'To be a change-maker, to have impact, you need know-how...' A play button is overlaid on the image, indicating a video.

The DEAR Programme supports projects that engage people in Europe in worldwide issues of social, economic and environmental development. DEAR works with civil society organisations and local authorities to promote global justice, human rights, sustainable development and democratic participation. See latest news here.
