Developing Citizenship

Developing Citizenship

A NEAD project, in partnership with Oxfam, Save the Children and UNICEF.

Developing Citizenship was a three year project that started in June 2002 and ran until June 2005. It aimed to develop new ways in which secondary schools can develop and embed global awareness into their classroom activities, school ethos and policy, and through pupils’ involvement in active citizenship.

NEAD was one of three DECs in England chosen by Oxfam, Save the Children and UNICEF (the project originators) to work on the project. NEAD, Manchester DEP and Cheshire DEC worked intensively with 16 pilot schools — of which four were in Norfolk and four in Suffolk — to support them in their development of new global citizenship ideas and initiatives.

These learning experiences have been collated and disseminated via the Developing Citizenship Project website.
