Global Education in a Box

Global Education in a Box is a practical model of treating ESDGC as a whole and aims to save teachers time in researching and selecting resources with which to develop a school programme to promote Global Citizenship.  Resources from a variety of publishers are provided, together with highlighted sample activities of 16 PSE lessons for KS3.  It is divided into four sections:  Interdependence, Looking after the Earth, Global Fairness and Celebrating Diversity.  The box is available to borrow via our Resource Loan Service.
