Sazani Associates, a not-for-profit based in Wales (UK) and Zanzibar, supports the development of core competencies and behaviors that enable educators and learners to engage in the world and to contribute to a more just and sustainable society. By adapting the Northern construct of global learning, combined with the just pedagogies of global citizenship and education for sustainable development, and applying them to the context of a small island state in the Global South, Sazani has introduced critical pedagogy to education in Zanzibar. Taking Zanzibar to represent a microcosm of global society, this article reflects on how Sazani's work there has contributed toward Sustainable Development Goal 4.7. It includes a brief history of the theoretical constructs that underpin the work and reflects on how global learning has transformed the capabilities of Zanzibari teachers and students to address local and global challenges.
