The Scottish Development Education Centre, SCOTDEC, is launching a Europe-wide project for secondary teachers which aims to support them to add a Global Citizenship dimension to their subject teaching – probably with a focus on the BGE. The project will focus on teaching controversial issues such as climate change and migration as well as the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The first phase of the project is the creation of small teacher working groups around 5 curriculum areas – Science, Maths, English, Modern Languages and Social Subjects who will receive training on Global Citizenship and develop classroom materials. This is a great opportunity for teachers to get involved in a project and network with colleagues across Europe.

I have attached an overview of the project which also details the role of teachers who get involved in the first year of the project. It would be appreciated if you could pass it on to any secondary teachers who might be interested.  GIGs project overview for teachers
