Global education and Geography
What is the One World Centre? The One World Centre implements the Global Education Project, a professional learning initiative, for educators in WA.
We offer professional development workshops on a range of global and development issues at the centre, in schools and at universities for teachers and pre-service teachers.
Education Officers work with teachers and schools on programmes and resources, and to take a whole school approach to global education.
The OWC library provides a wide range of global education teaching and learning resources suitable for teachers and students.

What’s Global Education?
“Enabling young people to participate in a better shared future for all is at the heart of global education.
Global education promotes open-mindedness leading to new thinking about the world and a predisposition to take action for change. Students learn to take responsibility for their actions, respect and value diversity, and see themselves as global citizens who can contribute to a more peaceful, just and sustainable world”

“The single story creates stereotypes, and the problem with stereotypes is not that they are untrue, but that they are incomplete. They make one story become the only story.”
