At a glance
The Inspire Education Global Citizenship Course at Bradfield College is designed for ambitious young learners who want to understand more about the world around them.
Our global citizens programme offers our students the opportunity to research subjects related to our ever-changing world. The project focuses on topics such as global interdependence, diversity of identities and cultures, sustainable development, peace and conflict and inequities of power, resources and respect. We believe at Inspire that, in the words of John Dewey, ‘Education is not a preparation for life, it is life itself’.
We are fortunate enough to have some truly amazing personalities and characters that join us each summer on our courses. We not only aim to help them improve their English skills, but also challenge them to question and consider the wider world and have a sense of their own role as a world citizen. Our project provides the foundations for this and in a flexible, fun and proactive environment, through the use of teamwork, our students work towards giving short presentations at the end of the course on one of the subject matters that they feel strongly about.
In previous years these presentations have provided the platform to practice English and improve confidence when presenting, as well as encourage a willingness in our students to, in their own small way, help to make the world a more equitable and sustainable place.
