The Busy Teacher’s Guide to the World

This guide looks at how you can introduce the global dimension right across the curriculum.

March 2008

This guide shows you how you can incorporate teaching about the world — the ‘global dimension’ in the jargon — into your everyday classroom practice. It shows interesting new ways to teach subjects like literacy, history, drama — even PE! And how to create cross-curricula projects on different aspects and topics.

The guide contains a simple activity to get started. It then gives links to more free activities on the web, including:

  • a video clip of a girl called Hashi in Sri Lanka

  • a photo-based activity exploring family life in Burkina Faso

  • an art lesson from Cuba

  • a citizenship lesson about a boy actively changing his world.
