The Rendezvous Society is a non-profit British charity organisation (UK Registered charity 293357). It aims to promote care for the environment and the development of inter-cultural ties through linking of schools and communities. The Rendezvous Society enables individuals and communities, both in the county of Gloucestershire and beyond, to learn about other people and cultures. For example, through the friendship link with Kisumu (Kenya) or the twinning link with Sochi (Russia). Global Footsteps is the name of the charity's programme of activities. Each event is a footstep towards a fundamental goal.
The Rendezvous Society is an educational charity founded in Cheltenham, England in 1985. Its mission is to help local communities to engage with people of other cultures in the interests of creating mutual understanding between them with an overall aim of creating a fair, friendly and fruitful Earth for the generations that follow.
The Rendezvous Society's method is to encourage friendship links between diverse and distant cultures, linking individuals, civil society, local authorities, sports, colleges, schools and environmental associations, leading to dialogue and co-operation between them.
For example, links have been established between Gloucestershire (UK); Kisumu (Kenya); Sochi (Russia); Toruń (Poland); Göttingen (Germany); Trabzon (Turkey), Saint Ann, Jamaica; Västerås (Sweden); Cheltenham, Pennsylvania (United States); and Râmnicu Vâlcea (Romania); by means of study tours, youth exchanges, school and college links and internet dialogue. An annual series of global gatherings has brought together youth from such diverse regions whereby they share experiences aimed at tackling the threats to their respective environments.
