Teacher resources to encourage a global perspective across the curriculum
Global education enables students to see themselves as global citizens who can contribute to a more peaceful, just and sustainable world. There are many links to the cross-curriculum priorities, general capabilities and specific learning outcomes in the Australian Curriculum.
Global education emphasises the unity and interdependence of human society and works to develop a sense of self and appreciation of cultural diversity, awareness of social justice and human rights, and encourage action for a sustainable future.
