Global Neighbours provides a framework for thinking about global citizenship education in schools. It is embedded within our curriculum and collective worship activities to help us to weave a global perspective into our provision and helping our young people to become active global citizens.

The scheme aims to increase pupils’ understanding of the root causes of poverty and injustice, as well as engage and empower pupils as agents of change in the transformation of our world. Global Neighbours can also enhance Religious Education provision in schools by increasing pupils’ knowledge and understanding about why and how Christians, along with people of other faiths and those of no faith, want to change the world to one where everyone can live a full life, free from poverty.

By helping pupils to claim their voice as global citizens, participation in the scheme supports schools develop and showcase their work in helping their pupils to become active global citizens and courageous advocates for change in the world, from a local to global level.
