Thanks to Dan Ellison for passing on details of this project via the GA NING.
Act Global is a new project that aims to develop young peoples’ understanding of the connections between actions in their communities and the causes of global poverty. It goes a step further than this too by providing opportunities for young people to take supported action on issues that they care about.
Act Global is a DfID funded project that is being run jointly by Relief International and the Citizenship Foundation.
We are currently looking for schools in Greater London would be interested in getting involved with their Yr9 during the summer term of 2010 or in 2011. Among other things we are offering:
- resourced units of work and guidance covering a choice of poverty, violent conflict and climate change. This unit has been designed to work with your existing work.
- free CPD and an online network for Teach Act Global teachers
- support in gaining or increasing the level of your International Schools Award
- a online network for young people to explore, debate and act on the issues with students in the UK and abroad. If you have a link with a school in another country they can join this too, making an effective way to add to your relationship.
- resources to run a 6 session lunch/after school club for young people who want to act through the global dimension
- a free residential Global Youth Activist training course for 50 young people from London.
If you are interested in taking part please contact Dan Ellis, Education & Training Officer, Act Global T: 020 7566 5035 E: daniel.ellis@citizenshipfoundation.org.uk
