Strengthening your GCE workshop 2021

This workshop is for teachers who have been doing GCE for more than a year. Continuous Professional Development and Learning is particularly important for a discipline like Global Citizenship Education so it’s important to stay up to date with Theory and Practice so ensure you are on the right track. We can cover every global justice theme under the sun but if the approach isn’t right we could be in danger of sending our students down the wrong track.

  • If so, what goals, targets and indicators are they connected to?
  • If not, why do you think this might be the case?
