Field trip to ONE
The ONE office in London had a visit this morning from a group of students from Driffield in the north of England, who are studying development before heading off to university.
We had a great time telling them what all we do here at ONE, but I think the best bit was the discussion about what they can do to help influence decision makers. They came up with a clever idea: ahead of their 18th birthdays, send letters to their Members of Parliament and candidates, asking them to pitch their positions on development so that they’ll know who to vote for once they are able to vote.
I’m looking forward to seeing what sort of actions they end up taking. Good luck guys!

Hello (:
We really enjoyed our trip to ONE, thanks for your time. We found the trip very helpful and inspiring for both our studies and our work towards develo[ping the world in our own way.
We will be in touch with the actions we take.
Thanks a bundle,
