Global Learning Schools - Northern Ireland

Global Learning Schools - Northern Ireland Education for a fair and sustainable world: We help schools across Northern Ireland bring global learning into their classrooms.

The Global Learning Programme (GLP) aims to strengthen the capacity of schools in Northern Ireland to deliver global learning across the curriculum at Key Stage 2 and 3 through the provision of support and high quality teacher training. Managed by the Centre for Global Education and funded by the UK Government, the programme will run for three years with multiple cohorts taking part. Ultimately, t

he GLP will assist schools in equipping learners with the essential knowledge, skills and attitudes they need to contribute to developing a fair and sustainable world.
