2 What is the One World Centre? The One World Centre implements the Global Education Project, a professional learning initiative, for educators in WA. We offer professional development workshops on a range of global and development issues at the centre, in schools and at universities for teachers and pre-service teachers. Education Officers work with teachers and schools on programmes and resources, and to take a whole school approach to global education. The OWC library provides a wide range of global education teaching and learning resources suitable for teachers and students. Check out the OWC at: www.oneworldcentre.org.au

9 What’s Global Education? “Enabling young people to participate in a better shared future for all is at the heart of global education. Global education promotes open-mindedness leading to new thinking about the world and a predisposition to take action for change. Students learn to take responsibility for their actions, respect and value diversity, and see themselves as global citizens who can contribute to a more peaceful, just and sustainable world” Global Perspectives: A framework for global education in Australian Schools Commonwealth of Australia, 2008

10 ‘Global Perspectives’ is the framework for global education in Australia. It outlines the values, knowledge, skills, and opportunities for action that are needed to prepare for global citizenship within five interconnected learning emphases.
