She is focused on  making the world a better place and her belief in the social purpose of education – the way to improve all lives, especially those whose lives are made difficult by social and global injustices. 

Linda has contributed to  many initiatives at Global Learning London over the past decade such as  writing and edition school resources, providing CPD training for teachers and leading on projects, like  Shared Ground, looking at the pertinent theme of Migration.  She also works as an independent education consultant in the UK and abroad.   In  July this year, Linda took over as Director of The Global Learning Association.
