One of the most useful websites for global dimension resources is www.globaldimension.org.uk. We find this website invaluable and the function to search for resources for a specific subject, key stage and topic means you can quickly find something useful!

 

The site describes itself as "a guide to books, films, posters and web resources which support global, intercultural and environmental understanding for all age groups and subjects. From climate change to poverty, water to fair trade, you can find a huge range of teaching resources and background material."
