Petronius Arbiter (AD 60)

‘I was to learn later in life that we tend to meet any new situation

by re-organising; and a wonderful method it can be for creating the

illusion of progress while producing confusion, inefficiency,

and demoralisation.’

Citizenship education includes: (1)

Understanding how the lives of young people in Scotland are linked to those of people throughout the world.

The interconnectedness and interdependence of modern living.

The development of critical understanding of the economic, cultural, political and environmental contexts in which we live.

Page 7: Ollie bray tcm4-283679

Global education includes: (2)

Empowering young people to take control of their own lives rather than becoming victims of change.

Encouraging young people to work towards a more sustainable world.

Page 8: Ollie bray tcm4-283679

Why is it important?

Education for citizenship is important because every society needs people to

contribute effectively, in a variety of ways, to the future health and wellbeing

of communities and the environment, locally, nationally and globally.

Adapted from: Education for Citizenship in Scotland: A paper for Discussion and Development (2003)

Work together to reinforce what we are already doing (cross-curricular projects?).

Re-define and up-date what we are already doing.

Lead by example.

prize School gets money
