Primary Assemblies for the Global Dimension draws out the emotional, moral and spiritual aspects of learning. In order to do this, the stories are about people - the student on a gap year, the farmer trying to sell his bananas, the international artist whose stage is the whole world. We consider their problems, their feelings, the ups-and-downs of their lives. The assemblies are not linked to any one religion, although spirituality is always evident and any teacher wanting to make a religious link can easily do so using either the short prayer included or by their own understanding of religious teachings and texts. The 40 assemblies cover all of the definitions for 'global' as suggested by the global education charity DEA: Global citizenship, Conflict resolution, Diversity, Human rights, Interdependence, Social justice, Sustainable development, Values and perceptions. 'Global Dimension' is not a curriculum subject but, as the name implies, an added dimension to all that happens in a school under the general heading of 'Curriculum'.
Assemblies are the perfect opportunity to reinforce this ethos, and Primary Assemblies for the Global Dimension is the ideal resource to support you in achieving this aim.
