I have always viewed climate change as a worldwide issue and haven’t considered the fact that it affects the global south more than the global north, despite the fact that it has been caused by those in the global north.

Developing their awareness of the causes of biodiversity collapse will encouraging a call to action. 
Using the land around the school is a great way to connect with nature and investigate biodiversity in the locality. ]]> 2023-07-05 13:14:19 UTC https://padlet.com/globalvillagegce/kme75dfdwga6i8oi/wish/2638804416 https://padlet.com/globalvillagegce/kme75dfdwga6i8oi/wish/2638804473 2023-07-05 13:14:22 UTC https://padlet.com/globalvillagegce/kme75dfdwga6i8oi/wish/2638804473 https://padlet.com/globalvillagegce/kme75dfdwga6i8oi/wish/2638804714 I'm excited to find out more about the SDGs and how to apply them in the classroom.]]> 2023-07-05 13:14:48 UTC https://padlet.com/globalvillagegce/kme75dfdwga6i8oi/wish/2638804714 https://padlet.com/globalvillagegce/kme75dfdwga6i8oi/wish/2638804763 I have two children in my class from Bangladesh who will absolutely love that this storybook is set there.

Beginning with the local area and then scaling up is a really good way of making these big ideas more relevant and accessible for children. 

Really liked the food lessons from Darragh also, definitely something I will use next year with my class.]]> 2023-07-05 13:15:05 UTC https://padlet.com/globalvillagegce/kme75dfdwga6i8oi/wish/2638804891 https://padlet.com/globalvillagegce/kme75dfdwga6i8oi/wish/2638805383 A greater understanding of the SSE process and a possible approach. ]]> 2023-07-05 13:15:48 UTC https://padlet.com/globalvillagegce/kme75dfdwga6i8oi/wish/2638805383 sarahamorris https://padlet.com/globalvillagegce/kme75dfdwga6i8oi/wish/2638806746 2023-07-05 13:18:02 UTC https://padlet.com/globalvillagegce/kme75dfdwga6i8oi/wish/2638806746 https://padlet.com/globalvillagegce/kme75dfdwga6i8oi/wish/2638806758 Some ideas for debating after our great Concern workshop yesterday.]]> 2023-07-05 13:18:04 UTC https://padlet.com/globalvillagegce/kme75dfdwga6i8oi/wish/2638806758 https://padlet.com/globalvillagegce/kme75dfdwga6i8oi/wish/2638806831 https://instagram.com/mr_minchin?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==]]> 2023-07-05 13:18:11 UTC https://padlet.com/globalvillagegce/kme75dfdwga6i8oi/wish/2638806831 https://padlet.com/globalvillagegce/kme75dfdwga6i8oi/wish/2638807155 There was some fantastic resources around biodiversity.

The guest speakers have shown us how it can be integrated into a variety of different areas of the curriculum beyond SESE and SPHE. 

I think this gives us great scope to plan how GCE can be effectively taught across the entire Primary school context, using different subjects in different year groups as part of our Plean Scoile.]]> 2023-07-07 09:11:49 UTC https://padlet.com/globalvillagegce/kme75dfdwga6i8oi/wish/2640395913 https://padlet.com/globalvillagegce/kme75dfdwga6i8oi/wish/2640396012 In a complex capital society:

There was multiple fantastic take aways daily. Most notably for me was the way GCE can be integrated into the whole curriculum from maths to drama. GCE can be weaved into all subjects to develop children’s awareness of the SDGs and increase their empathy and  creativity in EXCITING AND ENGAGING ways.
The many methodologies we participated in also can lend themselves to other subjects too. 
A truly worthwhile course!! ]]> 2023-07-07 09:17:26 UTC https://padlet.com/globalvillagegce/kme75dfdwga6i8oi/wish/2640398194 https://padlet.com/globalvillagegce/kme75dfdwga6i8oi/wish/2640398198 I found some cool podcasts discussing SDGs and some good news stories from around the world about how other places and communities are harnessing GCE and taking action to ensure one or more of the SDGs are real for their own communities]]> 2023-07-07 09:17:27 UTC https://padlet.com/globalvillagegce/kme75dfdwga6i8oi/wish/2640398198 https://padlet.com/globalvillagegce/kme75dfdwga6i8oi/wish/2640403418 Thank you for a very engaging , informative course packed with practical ideas on how to incorporate GCE in classroom planning.
