The Global Dimension at Meadow http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXoRd45cih4

Global Citizenship at Meadow Meadow Primary School is committed to providing a global education for our children. Every person should have the opportunity to develop an understanding of the world. The jobs our children will be doing, may not have been invented yet. It is our duty to prepare them for their role as a citizen of the world. The British Council Global Citizenship Themes underpin much of our curriculum. These themes are: Identity and Belonging Sustainable Living Fairness and Equality Conflict and Peace Rights and Responsibilities We will guide this generation of global citizens through optimism and action.

The following pages outline how different areas of Meadow’s curriculum and wider activities promote Global Citizenship.
