THE One World Centre has recently appointed a new director.
Rosemary Clarke, who for the last 12 years has run a similar development centre in Milton Keynes, said: "I am very much looking forward to this new challenge and to living and working in such a beautiful and unique place as the Isle of Man."
Rosemary's working life began in a Hertfordshire comprehensive where she taught geography and most of her subsequent career has been in education and communications - including time working in Ethiopia, northern Iraq and Mozambique.
Phil Craine, chair of the One World Centre management committee, said: "We are delighted to have Rosemary on board. She brings a wealth of experience to the role as well as a deep commitment to addressing ethical and environmental challenges in our globalised world."
The One World Centre has also recently relocated.
Its previous home was in Castletown, courtesy of the Manx Co-Operative, and now it is based at the old Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry headquarters in St John's.
The charity is now neighbour to the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture (DEFA) - the department which replaced DAFF - with its new building in the tranquil gardens of Tie Garey Ny Cloie.
Phil added: "We are very grateful to DEFA for so generously giving us a new home in such a wonderful setting, as well as to the long-standing and continuing support of the Co-Op."
