Introduction to Global Learning Workshop

Connecting Classrooms through Global Learning helps schools make connections locally and globally, encouraging schools in the UK to develop partnerships with schools in other countries and embed global learning in the classroom.

This free introductory workshop - delivered by the British Council and hosted by Sir Thomas Rich's School in Gloucester - examines what is meant by ‘global learning’, and considers how this relates to your school vision.

Delegates will:

• gain an overview of what global learning can offer to your staff and students

• develop a deeper understanding of global learning in the curriculum and apply this to in-school experience by considering change in the curriculum

• become familiar with change processes and opportunities through the curriculum

• explore and challenge dominant images and perceptions of people living in poverty

• present and discuss materials that explore a variety of images and perspectives

• reflect on how to adapt materials and apply learning to your school context.

Who should attend

This workshop is suitable for primary and secondary teachers currently teaching in Gloucestershire schools with an interest in global learning, who would like to find out more about the British Council's Connecting Classrooms programme. School support staff are also welcome to attend.
