This one-day workshop explores the meaning of a global dimension and considers the opportunities that arise within a school partnership to take this forward. The workshop is for staff who wish to develop a global dimension through joint curricular work with colleagues in partner schools.
If you have some experience of school linking work or have recently been awarded a Reciprocal Visit or Global Curriculum Project grant this is an excellent opportunity for you or new staff to build your confidence in global education.

First Friday in February every year: Learning more about the work of UNICEF
On their annual Day for Change, UNICEF encourage schools to do something different for a day, for example a non-uniform day, dressing up in specific colours, holding cake sales or putting on sponsored events - in exchange for bringing in a small donation to a particular cause, and learning more about that cause.
Day for Change officially takes place on 3 February 2012, but your school can choose a day that suits you better. Each year the Day has a different theme and in 2012 the focus is on Sports for Development in Uganda.
Participating schools will receive the free Day for Change resource pack with fundraising ideas, assembly and lesson plans, real life stories, stickers and posters. To find out more and to register, visit www.unicef.org.uk/dayforchange.
