On World Fair Trade Day 8th May 2010 Beyond Skin launched the new Beyond Skin Global website and brand Creatively linking Global Development Issues to Race Relations, the website will be a central resource for Beyond Skin global initiatives/programmes and partnership projects and campaigns.

In 2008 Beyond Skin set out to use music as a tool to link global development issues to race relations in a schools programme funded by the Department for International Development (DFID). The programme was very successful and due to Beyond Skin's growing global network (thanks to Homely Planet radio) we have developed a Global Development Education initiative.

This involves a schools' radio and music project funded by DFID, global exchange projects and various global campaign projects (such as Sudan365).

In 2009 Beyond Skin became the first organisation in Ireland to become members of UNOY (United Network of Young Peacebuilders). Beyond Skin aims to develop exchange projects with other global members of UNOY, as well as with youth groups in Northern Ireland using music, arts and media.

The Beyond Skin Global brand will soon be present on all Beyond Skin websites and online networks providing a link to the Beyond Skin Global website.

(Beyond Skin would wish to thank the Centre For Global Education and Alexandra De La Torre for their support and guidance over the past few years that has resulted in this development of the Beyond Skin Global vision; and also a massive thank-you to Sinful Design for the BSG brand and website design)
