Taken globally the community development faces unique situation that can be characterized by the unification of socio-economic policies and long-term strategies, as well as movements and initiatives aiming to foster community diversity. Enhancing the sustainability of indigenous community life is inevitably linked with socio-educational regional specifics that are to be expanded and supported both nationally and internationally.
Our globalised world, where the issues such as war and intercultural conflicts, economic and social risks or environmental crisis are daily articulated should redefine the general concept of cultural diversity and its attachment to community life. This text describes strategies and initiatives of the United Nations which on global field operate in order to support the sustainable development of local communities and community development work and their relation to global issues in the context of education.
