'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

 

 

 

 

Introduction

Learning in a Global Context is a framework for bringing global learning into the heart of the school. It includes web-based materials, leaflets, a self-led questionnaire offering next steps, and a planning grid.

The leaflets provide the rationale and teaching ideas, identify challenges and include case studies. The introduction leaflet gives an overview of the framework, core skills in global learning and a diagrammatic model.
