  1. Embedding Education for Sustainable Development and Global Citizenship in the Primary Curriculum: A Creative Approach Pip McCormack London South Bank University

  2. ‘Perhaps as educators, we could usefully address how we can foster learner creativity, such that the potentially damaging cultural and environmental impact of generativity – creativity- is minimised, and positive impact maximised. In other words, we could consider how we might encourage a trusteeship – orientated attitude towards using our creativity wisely’ Craft, A. (2008) ‘Tensions in Creativity and Education’ in Creativity, Wisdom and Trusteeship (Eds. Craft, Gardner and Claxton)

  3. Context • London South Bank University is situated in an inner city environment, in an area of social deprivation • Education department’s core values include a strong commitment to equality and celebrating diversity • The project built on other units of LSBU course such as Equality, Inclusion and Citizenship, the foundation subjects (Geography, RE etc), Science and Professional Studies

  4. To explore an integrated and creative pedagogical approach that could be used to embed Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) and Global Citizenship (GC) in to the Primary ITE curriculum • To give students the opportunity to reflect on their own understanding of ESD and GC • To give students the chance to gain confidence with the use of digital media Digital media project aims:

  5. An Integrated – Cross curricular task Task is to make an animated video sequence The video will be short and will relate to issues of equality and diversity in the context of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) and Global Citizenship (GC) No spoken word, you can use text if you want to and music that is available on the editing software. You will need to work in groups of about 4 to complete the task.

  6. Equipment used - Digi Blue cameras and software

  7. Examples of student productions which explored equality and diversity ‘The Bridge’ the animation sets out to explore interdependence and difference of cultures through showing how two cultures can only solve their problems by working together (global/group)

  8. Examples of student productions which explored equality and diversity ‘You want my heart?’ explores issues of equality and diversity on an individual level, showing how different attitudes to diversity can have a profound effect (local/individual)

  9. Big Man, Little Man

  10. Work in school • Some students then went on to work in school • Students had a free choice on subject matter they would work on with children in school, it just had to have links with ESD or GC Case studies involved two students working with the following age groups: • Year 2 (6 and 7 year olds) • Year 6 (10 – 11 year olds)

  11. Year 6 (10 and 11 year olds)Pollution of habitats, individual responsibility, recycling and reducing paper use

  12. Year 2 (6 and 7 year olds)What would we do if there was no electricity?

  13. Workshop task – please work in phase groups • In groups of about 4 develop a medium term plan for a series of lessons that would lead to the making of a short animated film on issues related to ESD or GC – include cross-curricular links or links to whole school approach • You can use the template provided or plain paper • Be prepared to feed back/share ideas in 20/25 minutes

  14. Key points to feedback to conference • What have we learnt? • What are the challenges? • How can we move forward? • Where would projects like this fit in our school curriculum? • Do we need inset/ professional development? • In what ways is this approach helpful? • How practical is this approach?
