===World From Our Doorstep=== | |||
The World From Our Doorstep is an innovative, three year project designed to tackle the challenges children growing up in increasingly complex and globalized societies are to face. Concepts of Interconnectedness, sustainability, and fairness will be addressed through a broad range of learning materials. These materials include story books, topic boxes, storytelling, outdoor and experiential learning, and enquiry. <br> | |||
The project aims are: 1) develop outdoor and experiential learning as a means to introduce global issues of interconnectedness, sustainability and fairness to children; 2) foster links with food producers and rural craftspeople so that the project themes are relevant and real to children; 3) work with practitioners in regular Focus Groups to introduce learning resources like the “Meet Zogg” storybook and topic boxes, and develop new activities and classroom resources alongside practitioners; 4) support practitioners to develop ways to engage parents and families in learning about the project themes, 5) enable practitioners and children to establish links with the Cumbria Fairtrade Network; 6)support schools and EY settings to establish and nurture links with schools and food producers overseas, including EU and sub-Saharan Africa; 7) our final project will be a World from our Doorstep Practitioner Handbook, which will include all the methodologies and activities which have been developed, tried and tested, and which can be used by practitioners to build on and sustain the learning. | |||

Youth of the world! Mainstreaming Global Awareness in Youth Work is a 36-month, international project supported through the Non-state Actors and Local Authorities Development Programme of the European Union ([[EuropeAid]]).
