Hi Noreen,
Welcome to the course. It is brilliant to hear that you are already incorporating development education into your practice – hopefully you will be able to share some examples in subsequent modules. Independent and critical thinking are key skills that students can use when learning about development education. It is more than simply a teaching lecturing about inequalities globally – the children can explore specific themes and research how people around the world have different levels of access to key services. They can then formulate their own opinions and points for debate, as well as discussing the potential solutions (in all areas as ‘global citizens’)
