Global Dimension in Practice

• Children at a Yorkshire school took part in a chocolate trading game to learn more about the relationships between cocoa farmers, chocolate companies, supermarkets and consumers.

• It raised many issues around fair trade, sustainable development and conflict resolution.

• It was as fun activity and made children aware of the importance of being a global citizen.

• One of the children wrote to the headteacher after taking part in the game, asking why the school was not more committed

to fair trade products: now, more are now being used.

Intercultural Understanding: Why?

Learning a new language provides unique opportunities for pupils to explore national identities and become aware of both similarities and contrasts between the cultures of different countries including their own.

IU and Modern Languages • Learn about festivals and

celebrations in different cultures

• Learn how children of different cultures celebrate special days

• Identify similarities and differences

• Learn simple phrases to celebrate festivals, drawing on the experience of fellow pupils where possible
