Why DEVED?• The imperatives of ‘new’ (global) skills and competencies in a
world more connected than ever before, in terms of the increased movement of human and capital
• Understanding the impact and implications of this movement on society and the environment
• Reflecting the causes of inequalities and its manifestations within and between nations, its consequences on livelihoods
• the desire for the school curriculum to include real world context

The HowIncorporating DEVED into subject knowledge
• global themes pose major opportunities but also challenges for teachers in terms of approaches to incorporating into subject
• teachers’ engagement in global theme depends a great deal on personal motivation, wider world experience and broader social worldview/outlook
• real world’ and ‘global themes’ used within a subject, they can enhance the understanding of the subject;
• Opportunities for incorporation differs between subjects
• each subject area has its own traditional approaches towards construction and application of knowledge

How? the UK/Ireland experience • Global learning +sustainable development as cross curricular
dimension that locate learning in real world contexts
• Global dimension, Think global as approaches in school setting, GD principle also promoted in Ireland
• In Ireland pretty much open and less structured approach OWC and NGOs engaging with schools through DEVED projects
• Educational resources produced by NGOs, distributed / uploaded for schools
