NEW PROJECT - TEACHERS DOING IT FOR THEMSELVES

This new project will work with a group of Renfrewshire teachers to embed global citizenship within their learning and teaching, and will enable them to become peer mentors. It will also allow Renfrewshire teachers to meet to share 'global learning' experiences and build an informal network. Please email lynn.wosdec@btconnect.com if you are interested in taking part.
