About GED

Global Education Derby brings about local and global change to work towards a fairer and more sustainable world. We do this by working with young people, communities and educators.

We specialise in education for the 21st century – the thinking and emotional skills to deal with social challenges stemming from globalisation. 

For schools, we run teacher training programmes and student workshops on a range of topics. We offer customised support for whole school development and provide practical advice on curriculum enrichment.  We also develop our own projects in partnership with schools and teachers.

We work directly with young people through small projects that demonstrate the effectiveness of global youth work in reaching disaffected young people and breaking the cycle of exclusion.

GED have a wide range of resources – online and paper - covering all key stages and curriculum areas. These include issues-based teaching packs, locality packs, environmental resources and artefact boxes, as well as youth resources for Global Youth Work. These are available to loan (free of charge) to members.

Most of our work is carried out locally in Derby and Derbyshire, with some regional provision across the East Midlands.

Global Education Derby projects are distinctive in that they create awareness of the possibility of change and give people the skills to bring about change at personal, local and global levels.

• Participants gain self-esteem and a sense of place and belonging as well as teamwork, communication and problem-solving skills. 
• The local community gains from a reduction in negative stereotyping and improved cohesion
• Global learning produces greater awareness of the wider world and active support for the fight against global poverty

The learning methodologies that lie at the centre of our approach always:

• Produce a more outward looking mindset through exposure to global contexts and multiple perspectives
• Develop critical thinking 
• Increase self-awareness through reflexive questioning of values and ideas
• Give the confidence and skills to take positive action
