SCIAF’s new ‘Project Connect’ provides a dynamic and engaging opportunity for 
schools to develop their global citizenship education across the curriculum by linking directly to countries and people that SCIAF supports.
The aim of this project is to encourage learners to investigate, compare and contrast as well as respond to the situations of their ‘global neighbours’. In identifying similarities and differences of the lives of people around the world learners reflect on their own circumstances and become aware of global challenges such as climate change and food production. It also fosters a reflective approach to values such as fairness, justice and peace and allows learners to respond constructively to challenges they identified.
The project relates directly to many of the experiences and outcomes set out in ‘Curriculum for Excellence’ linking to a wide range of curriculum areas such as literacy and numeracy, health and wellbeing, social studies, and RERC/RME. It also provides the backdrop for enterprising activities and financial education.
By signing up for the project you are able to obtain a wide range of support materials, receive up-dates on your chosen country and welcome people from the countries you support in your school.
