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.
