How can the inclusion of the global dimension enhance the secondary school curriculum?
This section looks at practical ways of finding out how the global dimension can enhance the secondary school curriculum. This is achieved through looking at an example of good practice in action and carrying out activities in your own classroom with your pupils and assessing the outcomes. You can then widen this to a more theoretical discussion with colleagues.
