Globalisation is changing the way we live, changing our society and our local neighbourhoods.
Bringing benefits on the one hand, and increasing inequalities, fears, and social
tensions on the other. Global Citizenship is about gaining the knowledge, skills
and understanding of concepts necessary to respond to this change in a positive
way. It is an important part of the modern curriculum with many different strands.
It can be difficult to address but, if tackled well, there are immense benefits
for young people, staff and schools.
Our INSET and CPD programmes include:
- An introduction to Global Citizenship
- Active learning through Open Spaces for Dialogue and Enquiry
- Global learning & school linking
- Celebrating cultural diversity
- Challenging stereotypes
Here are some quotes from participants on past training programmes:
"It was the best thing I've done in my whole teaching career"
"It made me feel excited about something again. And it made me feel I want to do
this and this, and wouldn't it be wonderful if we could do this and this...!! Instead
of just looking forward to the end of my teaching career"
"One of the best courses I've been on. Can't wait to try it out at school and tell
other staff about it"
