Our aims

To develop understanding of global issues

To challenge stereotypes

To develop positive attitudes

To promote understanding of local - global interdependence

To encourage action for a more just society and world.

Our approach

We work with teachers, school governors, students and other education providers in promoting a global dimension through:

School linking – support for developing link partners, both local and global
Support and training on all aspects of global citizenship, including sustainable development, conflict resolution and social justice
Student focus days - on various themes, e.g. the Millennium Development Goals, Climate Change
Resources – an extensive collection of books, activity packs, games, artefacts for loan
Awards – support for schools working towards Fairtrade School status and the Global Schools Award.

Key to this are the eight key concepts of the Global Dimension.
