Global Perspectives is a gripping course that is both cross-curricular and skills-based and taps into the way learners of today enjoy learning, including teamwork, presentations and projects. The emphasis is on developing the ability to think critically about a range of global issues where there is always more than one point of view. Students use research, reasoning and questioning to gain this understanding and form their own judgements. It is an opportunity for enquiry into, and reflection on, key global issues from different perspectives: personal, local/national and global. The course is not about getting everybody to think identically; rather it is a matter of opening minds to the complexity of the world and of human thought and encouraging empathy for the diversity of human experience and feeling.
