A key starting point for global citizenship education is a richer understanding of your own culture. Here in Scotland there are great new resources, challenges and projects which will facilitate learning about this country and what it means to be a Scot.
Marks on the Landscape is a resource available through Education Scotland to inspire creativity across the curriculum. It integrates creative skills with experiences and outcomes across a range of curriculum areas to support interdisciplinary learning.
The context for learning and teaching for this resource is Fife Earth, an ambitious land regeneration project.
Fife Earth
“Fife Earth is a surface coal mine, three miles squared, being reclaimed as a huge project, but this is much more. Fife Earth is reclaiming and transforming this huge site into a celebration of art, creativity and of Scotland, its history, its achievements and its place in the world. It is art created by bulldozers. It is a vision driven by ambition, conceived by one man and being realised by many. ”
From the essay ‘How big are your dreams?’ by David Cameron, Education Consultant
