Why GLEN?
GLEN network is a powerful tool how to talk about our responsibility in a globalised world. GLEN offers to young people and also for member organisations a unique chance to broaden one’s view to the world and share experiences and ideas. Since development education is a new topic in Estonia, GLEN provides a “seedbed” for potential multipliers and activists on this field.
Explore the world with open minds. Get inspired and share it!
