OUTPUT OF THE INTERVIEW : We think that Global Citizenship in schools should be

based on the following principles :The importance of reaffirming or developing a sense of identity and self-esteem.Valuing all pupils and addressing inequality within and outside school.Acknowledging the importance of relevant values, attitudes, and personal and social education.Willingness to learn from the experiences of others around the world.Relevance to young people's interests and needs.Supporting and increasing young peoples' motivation to effect change.A holistic approach to Global Citizenship - that it should be an ethos permeating all areas of school life.These principles apply throughout school life, across all subjects and within all age groups. We see them as the foundation on which education should be built: as a basic entitlement for all pupils.
