Indicative Content and Learning Activities
Indicative Content
This module includes an overview of global citizenship and intercultural education from both a national and international perspective. The content will explore different approaches and frameworks and also critically analyse practice. Students will explore appropriate teaching strategies for global citizenship and intercultural education at different stages of primary education in addition planning and assessment considerations.
The students will also have an opportunity to develop and deliver a GCE lesson for a primary school class to facilitate deeper understanding of global development, human rights, inter-culturalism, inclusion and equality. This will build on and extend students’ experiences and on their learning in global citizenship education. Developing an awareness of resources and networks in this area, the students will be encouraged to position themselves within a professional community of practice.
