Let VIDEA help you take education further and deeper!

VIDEA promotes and encourages socially just and sustainable global development. We focus on creating a broader understanding of the world around us and work to bridge the gap between awareness and action.

In addition to educational materials we provide schools and the general public with learning opportunities through special events, seminars, workshops, study groups, tours, popular education, films and conferences.

Our goal is to develop and deliver integrated educational projects that capture the imagination and encourage the commitment of educational, business, and community constituencies in Victoria and the Southen Vancouver Island Region.
