The focus of this issue is on tackling prejudice and misinformation around identity-based hatred and the role schools and educators can play in addressing this. We hear from Facing History UK on approaches to developing media literacy and resistance to misinformation; Jordan Daly, Co-Founder and Co-Director of Time for Inclusive Education, highlights the importance of representation and creating inclusive school curriculums and young people’s perspectives on LGBTQI+ issues are also showcased in an article by our young reporter who was on a placement with us over the summer.

In our schools section you will find an innovative transition project from Liberton High School in Edinburgh, with a focus on the Global Goals and the rich context a Global Citizenship approach enables.

This term, in September, we are celebrating Fairtrade Fortnight and we have signposted you to useful resources to help raise the profile of Black History Month in October. We also bring you a round-up of the best new Global Citizenship resources and professional learning.
