Development Education

Our activies are often described as Development Education or Education for Global Citizenship. As such, we challenge stereotypes, advocate equality in resource and power distribution, encourage sustainable development, promote peaceful solutions to conflicts, celebrate diversity, and help people to understand the causes of poverty and the complexity of the global issues we face.

Education is the most powerful tool which you can use to change the world.”   Nelson Mandela

  • Explore issues such as poverty, child labour, children's rights and fair trade
  • Reflect on how local history can be used to explore present day global issues
  • Investigate some methods of assessing attitudinal change
  • Reflect on both our own and our pupils' learning
