This advice has been put together for the Global Dimension Website by the Education Team of Reading International Solidarity Centre (RISC) to help teachers evaluate resources for delivering Global Citizenship.
Global Citizenship is about social justice, sustainability and taking action for change. Delivered effectively, it should empower our pupils, as citizens of their local community and the wider global community, to make the world a better place. Through challenging stereotypes, and making connections between our actions and the lives of others, locally and globally, we can enable pupils to act positively as citizens of the many communities to which they belong.
Whilst many young people want to learn more about the world around them, research shows that they may often hold stereotypical views of people and places, and struggle to make connections between their own lives and those of others in their own communities and across the world.
