CPD activity: Presenting positive images in work with people,
places and artefacts
From the CPD activities online resource
Learning intention:
To help educators develop ideas on how to promote positive images
of people, places and artefacts. The 'do' and 'don't' lists in this
activity are central to all aspects of Global Citizenship.
Activity:
1. Start with this exercise, which can be done briefly. Show the
participants two photographs illustrating different aspects of the
same place, for example: the front entrance of the school and where
the dustbins are kept; the smartest house in the town and the worst
eyesore. Alternatively, make all participants a small paper frame.
Take them outside and ask them to look at a view through their frame,
and then turn 180 degrees and look again. What do the different
views show? Discuss what impression each view makes of the place
- points about the dangers of generalising and the need for an all-round
picture will probably be made.
2. Asking participants to bear this activity in mind, give out
a copy of the 'Do and Don't' table
to each group.
3. Ask participants to choose one point, from either column, and
come up with an idea as to how it could practically be achieved
within the whole school - either through school ethos, displays,
or an assembly or class activity.
4. Share this in a plenary session, and incorporate ideas into
school policy or a whole-school Global Citizenship audit.
It is important to consider the two lists in all work about people,
places or artefacts.
