4. British Council Professional Ambassador

5. What is Internationalism? • “We live in one world. What we do affects others – and what others do affect us – as never before.” • “To recognise that we are all members of a world community and that we have responsibilities to each other…”

6. “Today we face issues that can only be addressed internationally: sustainable development, climate change, the changing world economy, security, and the widening gap across the world between those who have and those who do not. Our vision is of the UK as a confident, outward-looking, culturally enriched, knowledge-based society and a leading edge economy playing its full part in shaping the response to these issues. The contribution of education and skills development will be critical.”

7. Global Themes

9. Curriculum 2014 Every state-funded school must offer a curriculum which is balanced and broadly based and which: • promotes the spiritual, moral, cultural, mental and physical development of pupils at the school and of society, and • prepares pupils at the school for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of later life.

18. Wants, Rights and Needs game The children are to become a ruler of a new island and take the 20 items on the cards with them. They are able to add 4 more. Due to an earthquake the country is not so wealthy and must lose 6 items. Children discuss and decide in groups what to take away. The following year the country is hit by severe drought. The country must lose 8 more cards. What are we left with? Are these our basic human rights? Do we all need these? What did we take out? Are any of these important?
