The Global Thinking Conference 2010. 

A FREE* conference for teachers, school leadership staff, local authority advisers and community organisations in the East of England.

Friday 9th July.  9.30am - 4pm.  Faculty of Education, University of Cambridge.

Find out how education with a global dimension has enhanced teaching and learning within the East of England. Learn how partnerships between schools, local authorities and community based organisations have provided excellent opportunities for global learning and community cohesion. Be inspired and equipped to embed the global dimension within your own teaching and your whole school community.   

Workshop 4

Community Cohesion and the Global Dimension in action, by Inna Da Costa and Kaja Holloway.

KS1, KS2 (activities can be adapted for KS3/KS4)

Inna Da Costa offers an interactive workshop incorporating dance and other tried and tested activities developed with children, teachers and the wider community members from primary schools in West Norfolk. The activities are developed from the NEAD’s ‘We are Norfolk’ project which supports teachers in responding to the educational challenges of working within a rapidly changing local community due to recent European migration and the associated tensions and opportunities this has created.  The activities are designed to; 

-  enhance community cohesion though embedding global dimensions into the curriculum

-  illustrate the benefits of working in partnership with the local community using a whole school approach

-  show how the use of real world artifacts and World Voices can challenge (or sometimes reinforce) perceptions and stereotypes of other cultures. 

 

Other workshops include:

-  Active global learning – games and activities to engage young people in global learning
-  Build it in … don’t bolt it on: How Global Thinking can raise standards in Literacy & Numeracy at Key Stage 2
-  How do we know it’s working – Assessing global learning impact
 
 
Global Thinking is a regional strategy managed by the East of England Development Education Network to enable effective support for the global dimension in education, funded by the UK Department for International Development (DFID).
