Education for Global Citizenship: A Guide for Schools

Published by Oxfam, 'Education for Global Citizenship: A Guide for Schools' is a booklet for teachers that introduces the key elements of Education for Global Citizenship (E4GC) and sets out how teachers can incorporate this into their lessons and across their school.

The booklet includes:

• activities to explore what E4GC means with colleagues;
• case studies of schools that have integrated E4GC across their curriculum and ethos, and the benefits this has brought to their pupils;
• a number of E4GC activities that can be adapted for use in many curriculum areas, with a wide range of age groups and ability levels; and
• a resources list, including where to find more information about E4GC.

The Guide is a fully revised and updated version of Oxfam’s Curriculum for Global Citizenship booklet, first published in 1997 and distributed to more than 47,000 teachers in the UK and abroad. According to Oxfam, Education for Global Citizenship involves pupils in their own learning, using active and participatory learning methods. These develop confidence, self-esteem, and skills such as critical thinking, communication, and conflict-resolution.
