Resource Title
Teacher Toolkit: Introduction to Development Education
Summary
This facilitator’s pack aims to address the challenges of the rapidly changing, interdependent and unequal world in which we live; making the connections between poverty, social justice and inequality in the ‘Global South’ and our own lives; and what we can do to address these issues.
It offers resources to make workshops a relatively straightforward yet rewarding experience for teachers, and participative, stimulating and fun for students.
Resource Details
Description
“Our toolkits and guidelines are developed from workshops we have been delivering in schools throughout Ireland. We encourage facilitators to draw on them as a starting point, to adapt them to their own teaching styles and needs. Avoiding the pitfall of thinking that s/he knows all there is worth knowing about a particular topic, the facilitator must begin at where students are with the issues, and take it from there.”
