Editor's Notes
- This map shows: Territory size shows proportion of people living on less than $2 per day
- countries around the world are becoming more and more interdependent. We may live on a geographical island, but the global dimension allows students to learn how all economies, environments, societies and peoples are affected by global events and decisions made around the world.
- Territory size shows the proportion of all carbon weight of carbon dioxide emitted; carbon damage is assumed. from there.
- Global Dimension in Schools is based on eight main concepts: Values and Perceptions: help young people develop multiple perspectives, including the power of the media, and allow them to challenge any assumptions and stereotypes. Diversity includes enabling students to (more than just tolerate ) but understand and respect diversity in our societies. Social Justice: allows students to understand the impact of unequal power, challenge prejudice and injustice and how they affect past and present politics. Conflict Resolution: enable students to develop skills of communication and negotiation Human Rights: understand and value our common humanity with all people all over the world. Sustainable Development: allows students to understand to respect the environment, that the earth’s resources are finite and see the interconnections between environmental and economic spheres. Global Citizenship: helps students to appreciate the global context of local and national issues. Interdependence: People, places, economies and environments are interrelated; choices and events that occur here have repercussions on a global scale. These Global Dimension Concepts, like the aims, may sound very familiar. There is much similarity between them and the key elements of the Northern Ireland Curriculum.
