Learning and Teaching Scotland has organised a series of open day visits to schools between February and June 2011 to share good practice and promote whole school approaches to global citizenship.
These popular events give participants an opportunity to visit schools across Scotland to see their activities and meet staff, pupils and other community partners.
The schools selected for the open school programme have developed approaches that have successfully weaved elements such as sustainable development education, education for citizenship, international education and games legacy into a wider coordinated whole-school approach to developing global citizens. The programme includes a number of award winning schools and schools whose achievements have been widely recognised.
Senior managers may be interested in taking part in the visits that explore the role of leadership in developing a whole school approach. A number of the open days for practitioners will also explore sustainable development education themes and how these support wider global citizenship activities. There will also be the opportunity to learn more about the activities of Stirling Council and how it seeks to promote global citizenship to schools across the authority.
Further events will be added to the programme in the coming weeks so watch this blog entry for updates.
Places for these events are limited so it is advisable to book early to avoid disappointment.
