Global Citizenship Skills Development


Collaborative learning is a fantastic way for students to identify links between global development issues, develop their communication and peer education skills; and take leadership as active citizens within their schools. Students will ideally have the opportunity to undertake collaborative learning with their peers in different subjects/ courses, schools and even teachers and the wider community.

Below are some resources and practical school examples to guide you through implementing this stamp category:

“On our Climate Change project boys from the Green schools committee brought religion classes and their teachers from all year groups and explained the diversity sites in the school to them. Students from Transition year religion classes presented Power Points to second year English classes. A diverse group of Transition year students will come together to present a project on Climate Change at the Spiritan Schools Showcase event in March. These will be from Green Schools, RE Dev Ed module, the SUAS module and boys who witnessed climate change on their trip to Kenya. They will present what they have learned to students from the other Spiritan schools.” Diplomatic Global Passport Award Winner 2017
