Developing Global Citizens – A rich context for learning

Developing global citizens encompasses education for citizenship, international and sustainable development education. It also includes contexts for learning such as Confucius Classrooms, Scotland’s Culture and Games Legacy. In recent years more schools in Scotland are developing global citizenship as a theme across learning through an integrated whole school approach to Curriculum for Excellence.

This seminar will engage practitioners in considering this theme, reflecting on the key principles and the opportunities for learning across the curriculum. It will use the resource ‘Developing Global Citizens within Curriculum for Excellence’ to share with practitioners both a vision for global citizenship and some examples of practice for taking forward this theme in their own context.

The seminar will also provide an insight into the development of Confucius Classrooms across Scotland, a context for learning to engage with language and culture. The seminar will be interactive and practitioner focused with opportunities for discussions and exchange of views and ideas.
