Educational Outreach
UK Overview
In the UK, our expanding education department is making sure that young people in Derbyshire are learning about the communities we work with in West Africa. Growing Global is our three year DfID funded project targeted at rural primary schools, aiming to inspire children and teachers to think and act on a global scale. The Theatre-in-Education programme will be touring schools in the region and teachers will be offered Continued Professional Development opportunities to support them in bringing in the global curriculum. See the Growing Global website for more information.
Our successful secondary schools programme of work 'World Class Act' has now been drawn to a close but you can read more about the projects we were involved with across Derbyshire schools and youth groups by seeing our World Class Act website
Alongside this, we are still visiting schools to give talks at assemblies, share our African artefacts and work with committed groups of students on campaigning. We continue to provide teachers with effective and practical resources and offer them support in using it.
And not forgetting of course, all of our fundraising initiatives in which schools can get involved!
