About the project
The aim of Participate is to provide teachers with the resources to effectively teach Global Citizenship through art and design. Run as a partnership project by the October Gallery and RISC, participate offers teachers an exciting opportunity to widen their knowledge and understanding of contemporary arts from the majority world.
Participate aims to:
- Highlight the work of contemporary artists from the Majority World
- Demonstrate how their work can link to key Global Citizenship concepts
- Provide teachers with new ideas and approaches to teaching Global Citizenship in the classroom.
Over the last two years RISC and The October Gallery have delivered a range of Creative Professional Development seminars and outreach workshops which focus on the work of several international artists represented by the October Gallery. By working in collaboration with teachers, artists and pupils, this series of events has informed the production of our Participate Teacher Resource Packs.
Each pack focuses on an individual artist and contains information on their background, country of origin, themes in their work and how they relate to the curriculum for Global Citizenship. The packs are also full useful links to other Global Citizenship teaching resources, as well as providing examples of creative activities that have been trialled in schools.
This online resource has been developed to give teachers easy access to Participate Teacher Resource Packs. The website is navigable by artist, country of origin and Global Citizenship curriculum, with useful links made between themes, artists and activity resources.
