'A footprint means pressing down and global means world, so 'global footprint' means pressing down on the world and we don't want to press too hard' (child's definition of a Global Footprint)

Learning in a Global Context

Learning in a Global Context is a framework for helping schools engage in an ongoing process of developing global learning. In this process the school can involve all members of the school community in equipping and inspiring students to make sense of their place in the world and their relationship to others both locally and globally.

There are a number of elements to the framework:

1. Guidance leaflets - A series of leaflets that focus on aspects of school practice promoted in the framework. Includes an introduction leaflet, which gives an overview of the framework, core skills in global learning and a diagrammatic model.

2. ‘How Global is your School?’ - An online quiz with straightforward questions about global learning in your school. You will automatically be sent some next steps to consider, for developing global learning.

3. Planning grid - A template to direct school planning in response to the framework.

4. Training - Professional development and consultancy around global learning – with bespoke guidance and training as well as scheduled training days with HEC Global Learning Centre.
