Growing Change… in our schools
A free CPD event for teachers of Social Studies, Science, English and RMPS in and around Glasgow, focusing on Interdisciplinary Learning through Global Citizenship. “Growing Change” is a documentary about the global food crisis. Showing what is happening in Venezuela, it demonstrates what is possible when communities, not corporations, start to take control of food based on the principles of social justice and sustainability.
Wednesday 7 November 4.30 – 6.30pm, GMAC, Trongate, Glasgow
This is an opportunity to join other teachers to review and discuss the documentary and how it might be used to meet the CfE Experiences and Outcomes and address unit outcomes within Scotland’s new National Qualifications. Fairly traded refreshments will help the discussions along! Contact wdmglasgow@gmail.com to register your interest in joining us.
