I am very excited to learn about Think Globally. My passion for teaching both middle school math and science as well as integrating the UN Sustainability Goals has led me to your organization. I would love to be of any assistance I can with your efforts, and will try to arrange to take one of your online courses.

Recognizing synergies, it would be great to collaborate.

It would be a honor to hear from you.

Respectfully,

Kathryn

Both my children, in London were part of the original pilot. Can’t believe we need this in the 21st century but sadly we do!

Hi Jennifer. Thanks for your comment! Do share your views in the current Department of International Development Consultation on the future of Government supported global learning. https://think-global.org.uk/development-education-consultation/

Although the curriculum is rammed as it is in our schools I fear that until there is explicit statutory sentences that require Global Education in some way , or in some subject, teachers will not feel the need to build it into the existing curriculum. I think most teachers will agree totally that all the issues that comprise Global Education are real, vital and engaging for all, but Global Education can easily slip through the net as it belongs to no defined curriculum subject, although could be an integral part of all of them! Curriculum specifics are needed.

Do not ask us teachers, it is what we are passionate about and therefore we are going to say how important it is. I really hope you find many students who were taught Citizenship as a discrete subject (not students who will tell you about PSHE) but students who understand the political literacy, the law and their position as a global citizen. All the students I have taught Citizenship at GCSE and A level (Haverstock School, Camden) will clearly tell you why they believe this is such an important subject, many will articulate that they believe this is the subject that helps them the most in terms of understanding our so very complex world.

Welcome and I very much welcome your plan, among others, to engage and foster partnerships.
As a long standing member of Think Global, Reconnect , a not for profit refugee the organisation, I work for, would very much like to see changes in a way that you prioritise issues relating to global forced displacement and the active involvement of refugees in the UK in global learning

I also think the focus on evidencing what is happening as opposed to communicating what is apparently happening would be hugely beneficial for learning and for those that ally themselves with what you refer to as the ‘global learning sector’.
I look forward to opportunities to perhaps re-engage as these priorities begin to be rolled out.

The example of The Rochdale Pioneers should be part of all our thinking!
