Wednesday 12th May 2021 sees the launch of FIDA (Futures Institute at Dollar Academy) – an open-access online learning platform that empowers young people to learn in new ways, through innovative projects rooted in the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs). It has been created to address three fundamental challenges – sustainability, equitable access to education, and the need for curricular reform.
The platform enables young people to work with experts from industry and universities to better understand, and design solutions to, some of the most complex challenges we face, such as climate change, poverty, and social injustice. There is a wide variety of ways young people can get involved, with a core offering of 17 Global Challenges – one for each of the UN SDGs.

Inside Scotland’s inspiring struggle to give everyone a stake in the ground
beneath their feet and the lessons for confronting inequality everywhere
Let’s begin with a story about a man called Lord Rossmore. Rossmore was an Anglo-Irish aristocrat and MP who, in 1820, inherited an estate on the Isle of Arran off Scotland’s west coast through the dowry of his wife, the illegitimate daughter of the eighth Duke of Hamilton. One day, the new patriarch invited the village of Catacol, on his estate, to a party at his residence down in High Dougarie. Rossmore’s benevolence was soon thrown into doubt, however, when his servants barred anyone from leaving the residence early. When the villagers were eventually released, they returned home to find their cottages and runrig farmland had been set on fire and razed to the ground by Rossmore’s agents.
