A SCHOOL LINKING PROJECT FOR SECONDARY SCHOOLS, supported by Google Innovation Fund

Through workshops and production of short films, this schools-based project will work with children to explore multiple perspectives and the nature of propaganda.

The outputs will form the basis of an online resource that schools can use in the curriculum to build resilience to extremism.

In January 2019, we showcased this innovative project in London at the "Afternoon of Inspiration:  Innovations in civic responses to hate & extremism" - hosted by Google and the Institute of Strategic Dialogue (ISD).

PROJECT ANNOUNCEMENT - 2018-19

Some excitement and motivation for Year 8 or 9 students in the Spring and Summer term 2019
 
Global Education Derby are developing a Key Stage 3 resource raising awareness of the digital world and building resilience to fake news, extremist views and cyber bullying.
 
This means we are looking for secondary school groups (up to 15 students)  to participate in a school linking programme where:

• Students will be linked with a partner class in a contrasting school  to develop critical literacy skills together.
• Students will meet at  Quad  for  joint workshops focusing on creating their own news broadcast and a creative activity of your own choice.
• Follow up visits by staff and students to each others’ schools will build on this experience with facilitator led workshops.
• All transport costs will be met by the project budget.

 
Do express an interest by 22 June 2018,  so we can arrange a planning meeting with your school.
