What we’re about
The South West International Development Network (SWIDN) supports, informs and connects professionals, academics, civil society and students engaged in the global development sector in the South West.
Anyone with an interest in 'international development' is welcome to join our meetup.com group and to attend our open networking events listed here, which happen occasionally throughout the year. It's a great way to meet like-minded people and find out about opportunities and other events in the sector.
For our online events, you will also need to register at the Zoom link in the event listing to gain access to the event.
We also use this page to list our free, members-only events which happen online and in-person across the South West each month. To join as a member of SWIDN, please visit our website and become a paid member for as little as £50 per year. We are a micro-charity and regret that we are not in a position to offer many free events to non-members.
