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.
