Global communicationsGlobal communications

Modern technologies have reduced, and insome cases removed the boundaries forlearning.

We now live in a 'globalised' world ofcommunications, news feeds, interactionetc. where our actions at a local level haveimplications at a global level.

BorderlessBorderless learninglearning

Our education is no longer confined to the schoolwe live in - we can access courses/subjects fromalmost anywhere and at any time. The world isour classroom!

Global connectivity now enables student drivenniche learning projects - if schools and teachersallow and enable them to happen.

Global awarenessGlobal awareness

Putting learning in a global context involvessupporting young people to make sense of theirlives by understanding the global interconnectionswe all have.

It helps pupils understand how they are affectedby events around the world and to recognise thatwhat they do affects people and the environmentin other countries.

This learning can help counter a sense ofhelplessness in the face of ‘global forces’.
