Objectives

DECSY exists to promote Global Learning: an approach to education that increases understanding of complex global issues, such as world poverty, conflict, climate change, migration and thinking about how to create a better world.

We work with teachers and many others involved in education with the aim to inspire and inform so that educators can confidently bring the global perspective into their teaching.

Activities

We offer a range of training courses to teachers and schools, with our skilled staff providing support for understanding current events as well as understanding of complex global issues.  
Current courses include:

  • Learning through a pandemic
  • Planning a broad and balanced curriculum through global learning
  • Philosophy for Children
  • Gender Equality in Schools – a whole-school approach
  • Coping with Covid

We work on specific projects that enhance Global Learning teaching resources and research.
Current projects include:

  • Creating a Gender Equality Charter Mark (kite mark) for primary and secondary schools
  • The Schools Linking Network – linking pupils across different schools in Sheffield and Rotherham
  • Non-violent action: a force for change
