We broker international links and connections to increase access to experience, engagement and opportunities, especially for children and young people, including disadvantaged and underrepresented groups.

We support activities to increase intercultural awareness and engagement, promote social cohesion, inclusion and the celebration of cultural diversity in the city. We also share opportunities and support for underrepresented groups.

Benefits of internationalism
We support Newcastle schools with international connections, intercultural awareness and language skills, because these are essential for children and young people to thrive in a globally connected world. Their engagement supports personal development, builds skills and broadens and future education and career opportunities. It opens doors to a wide range of experiences and positions children and young people to be active, informed, and effective contributors to a more interconnected and harmonious world.

Our funding
We are a small not for profit social enterprise and seek to deliver services and opportunities through a partnership approach, brokerage and facilitation. We are grateful for the support and core funding contributions from three key stakeholders: Newcastle City Council, Newcastle University and Northumbria University.
In 2024-2025, we have also benefitted from grant funding to support the Express Yourself: North East Festival of Languages from the North East Combined Authority.
