Global Generation instigated this website to support our wider outreach work with schools and other adults who want to learn about how to teach the universe story to young people or how to bring this overarching and emerging narrative into their organisations as a catalyst for positive environmental and social change.
The foundational methodology has been developed by Global Generation through its work with children and young people in formal and informal educational settings. We are excited to see how the work will evolve and expand in collaboration with practitioners from all over the world.
The first phase of our virtual learning community is being developed with teachers from St. John’s Primary School, Oxfordshire as well as volunteers from the Guardian and the Observer.
