Digging Deeper Tool
The Digging Deeper Tool is a series of questions designed to critically explore a global justice issue in depth. It is used after an issue has already been researched and learners have built up prior knowledge on the issue. It helps to break down complex issues, to take a critical stance, to consider multiple perspectives and to focus on potential actions, a key aspect of GCE.
The tool is adapted from a resource designed to help educators explore global issues produced by Pashby and Sund (2019), in conjunction with the Manchester Metropolitan University.
