formal sector officer works alongside the EES initiative to promote
and support ESDGC (Education for Sustainable Development and Global
Citizenship) throughout Wales. This area of work is mainly funded
by WAG and DFID.
Cyfanfyd provides support to teachers
and local education authorities (both independently and through
EES) and we have delivered workshops / training on areas such as
‘water’, ‘race equality’ and ‘ESDGC
in modern foreign languages’ as well as more general sessions
introducing ESDGC to teachers.
We
have worked with schools on ‘one off’ projects such
as The Global Challenge at Birchgrove Primary School. Links have
been established between ESDGC and Race Equality, and Cwmlai and
Maes yr Haul Primary schools and are involved in a sustainable
buildings project with Edwardsville Primary School in Merthyr Tydfil.
A pilot course took place in Summer 2006 and, following
development and modification, a second course was run in 2007: download

Much work has been carried out exploring the links
between ESDGC and Race Equality. This originated with the publication
of ‘Bringing it Home’ by Jonathan Brentnall in 2004
and developed into Making the Links (download web resource, powerpoint
and worksheets), which looks at the links between ESDGC and race
equality and provides an online INSET tool with activities and worksheets
to enable teachers to explore this area themselves.
We have also run training on The Globalisation of
Race for teachers, advisors and representatives of other educational
sectors: see
report from 2007 (Publisher 250Kb).
Cyfanfyd has teamed up with the
Commission for Africa and our sister organisation, the Development
Education Association to produce a range of 12 posters exploring
development issues on the African sub-continent. These attractive
posters are available in both English and Welsh and can be used
in a range of educational settings. Cyfanfyd has a number of copies
available for distribution so if you would like a set simply send
your contact details to our main address in Cardiff and we will
send you a free set. Alternatively to copy as PDF simply click on
