Education for Social Change: The many histories of Woodcraft Folk Throughout its history the Woodcraft Folk has had a strong internationalist tradition and this has been reflected in a range educational initiatives from the 1930s onwards that promote a sense of being a ‘world citizen’. The Folk’s engagement with this theme mirrors broader educational initiatives in the 1930s in response to the threat of fascism and the promotion of ‘education for world citizenship’, the emergence in the 1960s and 1970s of social movements around internationalism and in the last decade or so around ‘education for global citizenship.’ Debs McCahon - Director of Development (Joint Chief Executive) Lloyd Russell-Moyle, MP Chair: Professor Douglas Bourn, UCL DERC
