Climate change ~ the educational implications
This paper is offered as a stimulus to your own thinking and planning. It offers propositions about the educational implications of climate change. It raises the question of how we, as a profession, should be contributing to the response to climate change if we are to meet the needs of young people.
Cities as a lens to the world
Tide~ is launching a new initiative for teachers focussing on cities. The initiative will support teachers and learners to explore complex global issues such as sustainability, citizenship, democracy and cohesion by using cities as a lens to global learning.
