The Developing Global Citizens Team at Learning and Teaching Scotland (LTS) has responsibility for developing and promoting global citizenship within Curriculum for Excellence and provides guidance, professional development activities and resources to practitioners, schools and local authorities to support the development of whole-school approaches to global citizenship.
