Minister on mission to Sheffield to hear how development is promoted in schools

The minister was in the city as part of a national fact-finding mission to hear the public's views on the best way to tackle world poverty in the economic downturn.
He visited the Development Education Centre South Yorkshire (DECSY), where he discussed how programmes there are promoting a global agenda on schools' curriculums.
Ivan Lewis also met Rimas Tankile Morris, a cultural mentor who has worked on the massively successful Kenya soap opera Makutano Junction.
Teaching materials from the soap are being developed for use in UK schools, to help change pupils' perceptions about poverty.
A visit also took place to a Fairtrade centre to see and hear at first hand how hard work in the UK is making a difference to the lives of farmers across the other side of the world.
