One World Centre: Schools

Along with the other members of the IDEAS Schools Forum and in partnership with statutory bodies, we are working towards a national strategy which will embed global citizenship in Scottish formal education.  This is part of a UK-wide initiative funded by the Department for International Development (DfID) aimed at enabling effective support for the global dimension in education.   Locally this means offering support to teachers throughout Dundee, Fife, Angus and Perth & Kinross.

As well as providing resources exploring issues of global citizenship across all areas of the curriculum, the Development Education Worker (Schools) will be happy to give advice on appropriate resources for topic work, subject areas and whole school initiatives.

We provide CPD courses to help teachers:

• meet the requirements of National Priority 4 (values & citizenship) from early years through secondary school

• address the need to promote race equality

• progress their own development

Courses can be Twilight Sessions, half- day or full-day In-Service, and can include a package of resources in the cost of the sessions.  Courses offered include:

• An Introduction to Global Citizenship (primary or secondary)

• Introducing Global Citizenship in the nursery setting

• Developing Education for Race Equality in the 5-14 curriculum

• Fair Trade – ideas and resources for the classroom (primary or secondary)

• Sustainable Development Education – learning from the past, deciding for the future (5-14)

All courses are participatory and will be linked to A Curriculum for Excellence.  All can be tailored to the needs of individual schools or local authorities.  For details, contact Sally Romilly at the One World Centre.
