what is global education?
You may be familiar with the terms Global Learning, the Global Dimension, Global Education or Development Education, all of which relate to issues of social justice and sustainability. We prefer the term Global Citizenship because it implies that this is more than something we can just teach and learn about within the curriculum. The term ‘citizenship’ reflects the ethos of action taking – its about how we, together with children and young people, become aware of how our lives contribute positively and negatively to the lives of others.

quality or quantity - tracking changes in pupils’ attitudes
Teachers are used to measuring their impact on knowledge, understanding and skills, but values and attitudes can sometimes be left unmonitored. We have worked with teachers, student teachers and their tutors to develop ways of finding out how pupils’ attitudes and actions can change.
Understanding Islam: Challenging Islamophobia
Islamophobia is the fear and/or hatred of Islam, Muslims or Islamic culture and history. The project brings together a range of teaching resources that offer innovative and creative approaches for dealing with controversial issues that will engage young people.
