On 4th March the Scottish Parliament debated a motion on ‘educating children and young people to compete in a globalised 21st century’. The debate was opened by Mike Russell MSP, Cabinet Secretary for Education and Lifelong Learning, who said “in order for Scotland and its people to succeed and flourish in the globalised 21st century that we live in, we must all become and live as global citizens”.

The full text of the debate and the contributions by MSPs present is available online in the Scottish Parliament Official Report.  

The LTS website now has a Developing Global Citizens area which unites work in related themes. Our team offers support to teachers engaging with Global Citizenship activities and issues.
