[hr-education] New Oxfam curriculum for Global Citizenship

This new flagship publication from Oxfam outlines the why, what, and how
of Education for Global Citizenship. Aimed at teachers in all subjects,
and across all age groups, it provides case studies outlining best
practice in the classroom, examples of appropriate teaching approaches,
and resources for further reading.

"Education for Global Citizenship: A Guide for Schools" is a free booklet
for teachers that introduces the key elements of Oxfam's curriculum for
Global Citizenship (knowledge, skills, and values), as well as providing
case studies outlining best practice in the classroom, examples of
appropriate teaching approaches, and resources for further reading.
Developed in partnership with teachers and other educationalists, this
curriculum builds on existing good practice and recommends the knowledge,
skills, values and attitudes to which young people are entitled to enable
them to develop as Global Citizens.

It outlines the importance of Education for Global Citizenship (E4GC) for
pupils growing up in the 21st century, and clearly sets out how teachers
can incorporate E4GC in their teaching and across their school. It’s a
highly practical booklet, providing teachers with:

- 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;
- a resources list, including where to find more information about
E4GC.
