What is global learning and why is it important? With Professor Douglas Bourn

Results UK had a chance to talk to Professor Douglas Bourn about the blog he wrote for Results UK titled 'Global Learning – rethinking our approach to education on development and global issues'. Douglas Bourn is the Professor of Development Education and Director of the Development Education Research Centre at the Institute of Education, University College London. In the discussion he explains what is meant by global learning, why it is important, and how it can be used to reframe the current negative public perception of international development cooperation.
