we think the keys to successful decentring materials could be these 3 things:

a) working together with teachers teaching in other contexts completely different from theirs - we get to see and understand contexts other than the typical European / US contexts of many coursebooks

b) basing a syllabus on global issues – so we can bring in approaches and contexts all around the world – eg. the Sustainable Development Goals

c) teachers writing their own materials – alone or in groups – that reflect their own local contexts
