Description

The resource aims to encourage young people themselves to respond to the challenge: “Who is listening to the young people?”

The core aims of the resource are:

• To improve our understanding of global citizenship and how we can make the world a more equal, just and peaceful place.

• To be able to critically reflect and debate on global issues and universal concepts that will inform our future actions

• To plan and engage in creative actions with our peers locally and internationally in order to create positive change

It can be used as a 40 hour module or flexibly applied to develop the relevant themes in your curriculum. It is structured into four main units in order to facilitate students to choose their learning paths based on knowledge, reflection and action.
