What we're about
‘What’s worth teaching?’ is a question that confronts everyone in education, both individual teachers and the field as a whole.
Today’s young people need to interact competently with a range of people and cultures, even if they never leave their hometowns. We want them to have a wide view of the world and be ready to contribute to global progress. So, while the field of education moves towards a more competence-based approach, teachers are asked to foster global and intercultural skills more relevant to our changing world. This won’t happen consistently without the tools & materials needed to put the theory into practice.
​
At Worth Teaching we're helping work toward this by designing resources in the areas of intercultural communication, global competence and global citizenship education.
​
Our Guiding question is:
What competencies do students need in order to collaborate across cultures to solve world problems?
We're focused on applying the theory about what's worth teaching,
to make concrete, easy-to-use resources available for classrooms: both
- for distinct, short courses related to Global Citizenship,
- and to integrate a global lens into traditional subject areas.
