Global Citizenship in the whole school

Find out how a Global Citizenship approach can be adopted:

• as a school ethos;

• as an approach to teaching and learning across all curriculum and non-curriculum areas;

• through practical ideas for assemblies and for the classroom;

• involving non-teaching staff, governors, parents and the wider community.

Getting started - use an audit to see where you are now, where you want to be.
