Dr Frances Hunt and Dr Clare Bentall will draw on quantitative and qualitative data from the programme to highlight the benefits, issues and challenges for teachers, and discuss research on global citizenship teacher education across Europe.
The Global Learning Programme (GLP) was a UK-wide initiative that aimed to offer young people the opportunity to learn about the world around them. Dr Bentall and Dr Hunt were both involved in Development Education Research Centre (DERC) research work on the GLP and plan to summarise their work on the programme as well as highlight the benefits, issues and challenges for teachers. There will be a discussion session after their presentation.
The seminar is aimed at students, researchers, academics and practitioners involved or interested in global education.
