The Field Studies Council has the mission of - "Building understanding and capacity for real sustainable development that bring about changes".

Over the past ten years FSC has developed a high reputation for developing and delivering projects that successfully meet the needs of individuals, organisations and communities. We have a team of recognised experts with a variety of skills and experience in many different areas of education for sustainability, working with communities, sustainable development, capacity building and change.

This means at times some of the Blencathra Staff work overseas. FSC currently operates in 27 countries. Who is doing what this year?
