Global citizenship brings together education for citizenship, international education and sustainable development education and recognises the common outcomes and principles of these three areas. All curriculum areas can contribute to developing the skills, attributes and knowledge that will create active global citizens.

Huge resource to support local practitioners, policy makers, managers and strategists develop their understanding of children’s rights and how to adopt a children’s rights perspective to their work.
Full training presentations with guidance for CYP, professionals from many multi-agency partners, parents and elected members.
This set of 21 assembly plans focuses on child rights and special days of the year, such as World Refugee Day, International Day of Disabled Persons, and World Health Day. They feature stories from children around the world and include suggestions for pupil participation.
Particularly useful for secondary schools working towards the Rights Respecting Schools Award (RRSA), this resource encourages young people to think about the nature of human rights and some of the dilemmas that may arise. The approach provides structures for teaching skills about thinking and forming opinions, as well as speaking, listening, reading and writing.
Based on Article 27 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, the right to a decent standard of living, this resource encourages young people to explore global citizenship and economic well-being. Topical issues relating to money will help young people make choices that are both financially and economically sound. Case studies bring a global perspective. Just Living is relevant to many secondary-level curriculum areas, especially the Economic Well-being and Financial Capability strands of PSHE.
