Our approach to designing the resources has been to integrate Global Citizenship concepts into the information and activities within the artist packs. These activities are cross-curricular and can be used across a variety of subject areas, enabling different subject teachers to work together.

The Global Citizenship concepts themselves are interconnected and a thread of each runs through the packs. For example, the work of Nnenna Okore examines our culture of consumption and waste, asking us to consider: Who makes what we use? How do we dispose of it? Who does it impact upon? These questions encourage pupils to think about sustainable living and also our relationships with people in other parts of the world, what is fair and unfair and how our actions impact on people and environments. 

With this in mind, we encourage you to take a look at all of the PARTICIPATE resources. To help you we have outlined the different ways they relate to Global Citizenship concepts in the table below. Just click on the links to open the relevant PDFs (requires Acrobat Reader) or go to our Teacher Resources page to search and browse the packs.

Social Justice and Equity Understanding and valuing the importance of social justice as an element in both sustainable development and the improved welfare of all people, and understanding human rights as a framework for challenging inequalities and prejudice.
Diversity Understanding and respecting differences in culture, traditions, perspectives and governance and relating these to global issues and our common humanity.
Globalisation and Interdependence Understanding how people, places, economies and environments across the globe are all interrelated, and that actions, choices and events in one country can impact on the quality of life of people in other countries.
Sustainable Development Understanding the impact of production, consumption and waste on people and the environment, and also understanding that the planet’s resources are finite, emphasizing the importance of sustainable resource use - rethink, reduce, repair, re-use, recycle.
Peace and Conflict Understanding the nature of conflicts, their impact on people, places and environments, and why there is a need for their resolution and the promotion of harmony, through mutual tolerance and respect.
