Global Citizenship magazine for schools

Editorial

One World

With Trump in the White House, a huge reduction in the overseas aid budget and the dismantling of climate initiatives, it feels like a new world order is taking over. Alongside this, we see the rise of disinformation, online hate and the promotion of misogynistic behaviours. All this makes for a challenging world to navigate, especially for children and young people.

In this issue we hear from Jordan Daly from Time for Inclusive Education and their latest project the Digital Discourse Initiative. Faith Bateman from Wosdec provides guidance on how to navigate challenging discussions in the classroom.

We also have inspiration from young people in our schools pages, new resources and an updated Global Citizenship calendar and news section.

We will be launching a brand new website for Stride and all things Global Citizenship very soon. You will still find all the same great content alongside more thought pieces and inspiration from the wider Global Citizenship community.
