Gobal Solidarity Summit

#GlobalUndod2024 is Wales’ annual Global Solidarity Summit.

The name Global Undod uses the Welsh word for solidarity – undod (pronounced “in-dodd”) – into a blended name to reflect the unique approach to international development and global solidarity we have in Wales.

#GlobalUndod2024 brings together individuals and organisations from Wales and beyond working on solidarity projects across the world. From small community groups to Wales-based branches of international NGOs, we’re raising the profile of the sector in Wales.

Whether your work involves fair trade, the African diaspora, international development or global citizenship, #GlobalUndod2024 is the place for you. Showcase your work, network with partners, listen to keynote speakers or contribute to panel debates.
