Exploring global learning through music and dance
Visiting professional artists from, or influenced by, art forms from around the world, offer a rich and creative stimulus for learning with a global perspective. This workshop for primary teachers, will explore how to make the most of the opportunities that these experiences provide. The course will draw on the ideas in the resource Global learning in primary schools.
