As we've all adjusted to new ways of working and we are now offering an increasing amount of support online, we've recently launched a YouTube channel and Soundcloud page. We'll be sharing some extracts from key online events we're involved with - from CPDs and expert speakers, to the thoughts and reflections of staff and volunteers.

We're teaming up with our fellow Development Education Centres across Scotland to deliver a new set of professional learning opportunities. They range from one-offs to 8 week courses and cover a wide range of issues; including Rights, Global Citizenship and COVID-19.

Bringing together teachers of pupils aged 3-18 this Book Chat will provide teachers and educators with the opportunity to hear from other teachers from all around Scotland about the global citizenship themed books which have most inspired their pupils.

For the last few years, we've been celebrating Global Citizenship during the month of September.

Along with our fellow Development Education Centres (DECs) across Scotland, as well as members of IDEAS, we've celebrated and showcased great teaching practice, resources, ideas, methodologies and examples of Global Citizenship.

SIGN UP NOW!... for the following 3-part course which supports Scottish teachers in Learning for the Sustainable Development Goals. 

Connecting Classrooms: Learning for the SDGs (online) 

Since 2014, our work has been funded annually by the Scottish Government. In July 2020, and in collaboration with our fellow Development Education Centres, we've begun to ask MSPs across Scotland to pledge their commitment to us and our work. With your support as constituency members too, we can help to show them how valued and essential Global Citizenship Education is for educators, young people and Scottish society as a whole.
