Oxfam Regional Conferences


Oxfam are holding a series of REGIONAL CONFERENCES in the next month or so.

Responsible citizenship at Key Stages 3 and 4

Theme

October’s programme of conferences will focus on the human impact of climate change, and the significance of the forthcoming UN climate change conference to be held in Copenhagen this December.
