The GLP is funded by the UK government GLP © Crown Copyright What is the GLP’s understanding of global learning? Global learning is an approach to learning about global and development issues through recognising the importance of linking people's lives throughout the world so that people can recognise that we live in an interdependent world. It encourages critical examination of global issues and the roles that individuals and communities can play in reducing global poverty.

The GLP is funded by the UK government GLP © Crown Copyright Aims of the GLP The GLP has six aims which are to: help young people to understand their role in a globally interdependent world and to explore strategies by which they can make it more just and sustainable familiarise them with the concepts of interdependence, development, globalisation and sustainability Source: Rob Unwin

The GLP is funded by the UK government GLP © Crown Copyright Aims of the GLP enable teachers to move young people from a charity mentality to a social justice mentality stimulate critical thinking about global issues both at whole school and at a student level help schools promote greater awareness of poverty and sustainability enable schools to explore alternative models of development and sustainability in the classroom.

The GLP is funded by the UK government GLP © Crown Copyright A global learning school has a vision to develop global learning pupil outcomes across the school. This vision is embedded through a planned process, involving staff, pupils, governors and the wider community in global activities. Whole school focus

The GLP is funded by the UK government GLP © Crown Copyright The curtain raiser! Development Education Consortium designed and ran Shape the Future competition for all UK secondary schools from January to March The competition, held last year to coincide with the beginning of the GLP, gave KS3 pupils the opportunity to come up with their own ideas about what should appear in the post-2015 UN Development Goals. 5 schools presented their proposals to the Secretary of State on 1 May 2013 at the House of Commons Winning school: Caroline Chisholm School, Northants

The GLP is funded by the UK government GLP © Crown Copyright What did teachers say about it? ‘The students have absolutely loved the process… I have to say the passion and ambition they displayed made me feel that there is hope for the future.’ ‘[Students] have really enjoyed the research aspect and sharing ideas, so much so they have come in on the first day of their holidays to make the final touches!’

The GLP is funded by the UK government GLP © Crown Copyright Looking ahead to the GLP... ‘We look forward to hearing from you soon, as our whole aim for this competition is to improve lives – it’s not about the prize for us!’... an entrant’s thoughts turn to the future
