Global Citizenship is set to move up a notch at Holyrood following the awarding of a ‘Global Citizenship project Grant’ from the Department for International Development (DFID).  Every year schools with a partner school in the southern hemisphere can apply for a grant to develop joint curriculum projects with a global dimension.  The aim is to promote mutual understanding of such areas as global warming, health issues and conflict resolution and to encourage students from both schools to take action.  To this end, Holyrood has already started working with its partner school, Green Valley in Chennai, India.  In September, the Director of the school and two teachers will be visiting Holyrood to plan further for this exciting and vital aspect of the curriculum.
