Main focus: Global Citizenship and Games Legacy for Scotland
Tuesday, 25th October 2011, 9.30 am – 3.30pm
Calderglen High School – the first Community Sports Hub in Scotland, Calderglen has a strong focus on community sport, health and well being and global citizenship. Staff and pupils will provide you with the opportunity to spend the day hearing how the theme of the Olympic, Paralympic and Commonwealth Games has provided a platform for transforming the school’s ethos and its approach to interdisciplinary learning, developing rich learning experiences and activities including:
- Strong international partnerships through an ‘International Inspirations’ link with South Africa and the ‘BBC World Olympic Dreams’ link with Namibia.
- Engagement with the London 2012 Get Set programme.
- Linking school and community sport to promote health and well being and provide coherent pathways for children and young people.
The aim of the event is to identify and share the practical lessons and ideas that have helped the school move forward in its journey towards a whole school approach to global citizenship within Curriculum for Excellence - and also to reflect on the challenges encountered along the way. Fundamental to the event will be the professional dialogue and exchange of ideas that takes place on the day, enabling participants to network, reflect on their own practice and develop intentions for improvement in their own context. With this in mind, participants are encouraged to join the Leadership of Global Citizenship online community and share their reflections.
