ONE WORLD NETWORK NORTH EAST
 





















Welcome to One World Network North East
Providing professional development and guidance supporting a global dimension in North East schools

 
Who are we?
One World Network North East (OWNNE) works with teachers, advisers and other educators to promote the global dimension in the school curriculum. We offer support on all aspects of the global dimension through workshops and INSET. We also run a range of projects for schools to develop specific areas of their curriculum.

What is a Global Dimension?
The global dimension incorporates the key concepts of global citizenship, conflict resolution, diversity, human rights, interdependence, social justice, sustainable development and values and perceptions. It explores the interconnections between the local and the global. It builds knowledge and understanding, as well as developing skills and attitudes. Download the DCSF's guidance document for more information.

Our leaflet outlines the support that we are able to offer to schools in the North East to develop the global dimension in the curriculum.

Training course: Assessing Global Citizenship
“If you really want to know that your curriculum development work is having the desired impact on your learners, you need to establish a clear baseline and then carry out regular, planned evaluations to check the progress of your work.”
(QCA 2009, curriculum.qca.org.uk)
 
This one-day course on Wednesday 7th October will provide an opportunity for teachers and advisers to explore practical and engaging activities for assessing the impact of global citizenship.
