Abstract: A N D Learning for LIfe and Work (LLW) is a core component of the Northern Ireland Curriculum.Local and Global Citizenship is a discreet strand within this component.The key themes of Local and Global Citizenship are: Human Rights and Responsibility.Diversity and Inclusion.Equality and Social Justice.Democracy and Active Participation.This resource is focused particularly on the lives of young people living with disabilities around the world.The real life stories in the films allow pupils to personally reflect and explore key issues from both local and global perspectives.This supports the following guidance from CCEA: 'Local and global Citizenship is important because it helps young people learn how to participate positively in society, to influence democratic processes and to make informed and responsible decisions as local and global citizens throughout their lives.Through looking at real life situations, pupils explore and express their own values and attitudes about current issues and are challenged to develop an appreciation of the needs and perspectives of others' . Cross-Curricular LearningThis resource has been written to support crosscurricular learning.Although it has a focus on Learning for Life and Work, suggested activities can be taught within all of the Key Stage 3 and 4 subject areas: Language and Literacy Mathematics and Numeracy The Arts Learning for Life and Work
