Where are we?
Welcome to the website for the West Of Scotland Development Education Centre (WOSDEC)
WOSDEC is the West of Scotland Development Education Centre and is one of six development education centres (DECs) in Scotland.
WOSDEC works with teachers and others responsible for education to
promote global citizenship in schools and to ensure that there is a
global dimension throughout Scottish education. Using creative
resources and methods we support learning and teaching in a way that
encourages young people to be confident and effective contributors
to a more just and equitable world. We are located in the centre of
Glasgow and welcome enquiries by telephone or e-mail. We also
maintain a library of resources and visitors are most welcome to
come and browse our collection.

New Project: Developing a World View
This exciting new project will allow a group of primary teachers to consider Glasgow museum collections as a stimulus for exploring topical global issues with children. It will develop creative enquiry-based teaching and learning opportunities to enable children to achieve many of the 'Curriculum for Excellence' outcomes.
The
project will form a 'community of enquiry' made up
of teachers, museum staff, and a WOSDEC global
education worker and be in conversation with a
Glasgow QIO.
In its first year it will involve teachers of Upper Primary children. It is envisaged that there will be 5 full days out of class over the year with cover paid by the project. Participants will be expected to trial and develop approaches in their classrooms.
If you are interested in becoming involved or would like more information please get in touch with Lynn Baxendale: lynn.wosdec@btconnect.com
