Aspects of Global Learning CPD at Liverpool Hope Univesity in conjunction with LWC - Throughout June 2010

This exciting professional development opportunity is for Primary & Secondary Head teachers and teachers taking a lead on incorporating global learning in the curriculum. These workshops build upon the successful conference, ‘Every Child, Everywhere: the Global Dimension in Practice’, held at Liverpool Hope University in June 2009 attended by over 170 delegates. These sessions also provide a taster for those interested in embarking on the MA International Perspectives in Education to be launched at Liverpool Hope University in September 2010.  See PDF flier for more details.

Forum Theatre on offer through Liverpool World Centre

Jason Ward and Nick Blackhall have been delivering theatre for education for over two years with LWC.

Jason and Nick’s work encourages participation on all levels from those taking part, they encourage participants to express their ideas through theatre, story and group enquiry and imbed a learning environment that encourages reasoned debate and discussion, the safety to share ideas and experiences and an attitude towards global learning that is underpinned by fun group activities.

Both workers are able to deliver individual sessions and full length projects around the Global Dimension and Social Justice.  They are both theatre trained and utilise unique and deeply participatory methods of work such as storytelling, forum theatre, improvisation and philosophy for children.  Both have developed and delivered workshops on Asylum and Immigration, Waste and Recycling, Local Wellbeing and Community Cohesion, Pollution and Public Transport, Cultural Communication and Child Labour.  They have also found great success in developing Theatre in Education plays best suited to school assemblies which explore human rights issues and challenge the audience to speak up and take part.  Their work in universities and colleges has lead them to undertake the role of lecturers rather than workshop leaders, as they have taught Forum Theatre and Theatre for Social Change to GCSE, A-Level and BA Honours students as part of their modular work.
