Welcome to Oxfam Education

Global Citizenship for teachers in England, Wales and Scotland.

Children working in class

Oxfam Education offers a huge range of ideas, resources and support for developing the global dimension in the classroom and the whole school. All of the resources here support Education for Global Citizenship – education that helps pupils understand their world and make a positive difference in it.

A new set of free resources on the forthcoming G8 is now available. For more information see G8 Italia 2009.

 

Climate change

CC

The poor are at the greatest risk from climate change. If a progressive deal, that acknowledges the human impact of climate change, is not reached at this years' Copenhagen summit then international efforts to address it may fragment into individual national strategies. This would be a disaster for the world's poor. Oxfam are pushing for a greater awareness of the human impact of climate change and urging people to take action. We are also producing new climate change resources.
