Imaginative and engaging Global Citizenship Resources...

These resources aim to raise global awareness, and to develop skills, attitudes and values which enable students to take action for change.

Global Citizenship is
•    Challenging stereotypes of people and places
•    Focusing on similarities before differences
•    Understanding diversity, locally and globally
•    Thinking about futures
•    Taking action
 
These resources have all been developed by RISC and in partnership with various development agencies.
