Education for Global Citizenship – A guide for Schools

Global Citizenship in the Classroom – A guide for teachers
Building on the Curriculum for Global Citizenship, this guide discusses the ‘big ideas’ which permeate through much of global learning practice. The guide is packed with accessible and adaptable tools and activities to support key approaches in practice – asking questions, making connections, exploring viewpoints and values, responding as active global citizens, and assessing learning.
Teaching Controversial Issues – A guide for teachers
Recognising that society is faced with issues that provoke strong, varied and often contradictory responses, this guide considers the hallmarks of issues which are controversial, and the importance of creating opportunities and safe spaces for young people to develop skills of communication. As well as reflections of teacher roles, it outlines range of activities exemplifying how controversial issues can be included in sessions for different ages and across the curriculum.
The Sustainable Development Goals – A guide for teachers
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a set of goals and targets, adopted by the United Nations, which aim to address significant social, economic, environmental and political challenges. The 17 goals together have the power to create a better world by 2030, through ending poverty, fighting inequality, and addressing the urgency of climate change.
The SDG framework is an engaging and powerful way of linking to a range of complex global issues and questions that learners might wish to address. The guide offers a balanced overview of the SDGs, short case studies on how schools are using the SDGs within global learning, and practical ideas for embedding the SDGs across the curriculum.
