The Global Learning for Community Cohesion project is a three-year enterprise. The funding from DFID’s Development Awareness Fund has enabled the creation of an all-new set of teaching resources for the primary classroom and for Continuing Professional Development for teachers. A partnership between Global Education Derby and Lifeworld’s Learning - producing exciting activities which are now available to download via the GED website and also at www.time2think.org.uk. These resources allow teachers to explore the issues of community cohesion – such as belonging, identity, diversity and equality – through a global lens.
The resources build on the Open Spaces for Dialogue and Enquiry methodology, aiming to make the techniques of critical literacy more accessible and relevant to primary schools. Tackling controversial issues, developing an ethical relationship to difference and coping with uncertainty and complexity are all explored through a comprehensive set of classroom resources. The resources for teachers will provide easy-to-use materials to facilitate staff meeting sessions for teachers to prepare and take Time 2 Think to teach the complex issues of community cohesion and global learning. An interim evaluation report has found the project is building on good practice using the Schools Linking Network framework for local linking. Schools Linking Network has been a partner to the Global Learning for Community Cohesion project from the outset and provides a national forum for the developments of this project.
Time 2 Think is an initiative from Lifeworlds Learning. It has been partly developed out of Lifeworlds' involvement in Global Learning for Community Cohesion, a DFID funded project of Global Education Derby (GED). The project provided space and inspiration as well as a direct partnership with the project manager, to engage in some fresh thinking around existing methodologies and emerging educational challenges and ideas.
