Valuing Places
Valuing Places aims to generate discussion and curriculum materials relevent to both teachers and pupils of geography and key stages 2 and 3 which:
- increases public understanding of our global mutual dependence and the need for international development by valuing the uniqueness of places at a variety of scales and exploring how these are interconnected.
- has the potential to involve every pupil in England through the Geographical Association's networks and mailings to all schools, thus supporting DFID in calling for every child to be education about these developmental issues so that they can understand the key global considerations that will shape their lives.
- by starting with local connections motivates and engages all learners to consider that develoment education is going beyond attitudes to development based on compassion and charity and establishing a real understanding of our interdependence and of the relevance of development issues to people's everyday lives.
