Local and Global Citizenship will be a new statutory subject in schools from September 2007. Elements of Citizenship can be found in the current curriculum through the cross-curricular themes of Education for Mutual Understanding and Cultural Heritage, PHSE programmes and related subjects such as History, English and Politics.
Local and Global Citizenship will be a part of Learning for Life and Work in the revised Northern Ireland Curriculum. Local and Global Citizenship addresses four key concepts:
- Diversity and Inclusion
- Human Rights and Social Responsibility
- Equality and Social Justice
- Democracy and Active Participation
