Stage 1

Stage 1: Attend Global Storylines training over two days.

At this stage participants will:

• Reflect on current understanding and experience of Global Citizenship.
• Establish teacher communities of enquiry, where in collaboration they conduct and analyse their own baseline assessment to measure where they are in their own understanding of Global Citizenship.
• Examine the Key Elements of Education for Global Citizenship: the skills, values and attitudes and how CfE supports pupils (and teachers) to explore the real world issues within the main themes of Global Citizenship:
  • globalisation and interdependence;
  • sustainable development;
  • peace and conflict;
  • social justice and equity;
  • diversity
• Explore key participatory and active methodologies of Global Citizenship which support both pupils and teachers to deepen their thinking around global issues and explore multiple perspectives.
• Recap on the benefits of the Storyline Approach and its relevance for developing IDL.
• Get to grips with the Process Drama techniques needed for Global Storylines and go through all the episodes of the Global Storyline they will implement.
• Identify methods for recording and sharing action research: teacher learning logs, social media spaces etc.
