Development Compass Rose
This is a tool that encourages us to ask a range of questions about a photograph, issue or artefact. It is a useful enquiry framework to raise questions around environmental, social, economic and political issues. It offers a simple and effective model for planning exploration of any topic, asking the key questions which truly encourage critical thinking.
Dhaka to Dundee
***UPDATED VERSION COMING SOON***
Dundee is known for the jute industry which depended on India and Bangladesh for its raw materials. These historical links are used in our “Dhaka to Dundee" pack to explore issues of interdependence and social justice. How do the living and working conditions for people in Victorian Dundee compare to those in India and Bangladesh today?
We've updated the pack and included reference to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) too. It will available as an e-book and pdf shortly after Easter 2021.

The Trading Game
Enjoyed by young people and adults alike, this game explores the unfair nature of global trading and works well as an introduction to Fairtrade. Participants are divided into a range of countries which have to produce items for sale - under very unfair rules. It is totally absorbing at the same time as introducing participants to how it feels to try to survive in a very unfair world.
