WA: World Teachers’ Day Awards

Primary and secondary school communities are invited to nominate teachers making outstanding contributions to global citizenship education. Nominations close on 31 August 2020.

Global Citizenship Education is an integrated approach to teaching and learning that develops a sense of belonging to a broader community and common humanity. It includes education for human rights, peace, multicultural communities and sustainable development.
Global Citizenship Education develops student understanding of the UN 2030 Global Goals for Sustainable Development and empowers students to be active citizens in a complex and uncertain world.
