Summary of contents
Primary Assemblies for the Global Dimension is a brand new publicationof 40 assemblies that draw out theemotional, moral and spiritual aspectsof the stories they tell. In order to dothis, the stories are about people – thestudent on a gap year, the farmertrying to sell his bananas, theinternational artist whose stage is thewhole world. We consider theirproblems, their feelings, the ups-and-downsof their lives.
The assembliesare not linked to any one religion,although spirituality is always evidentand any teacher wanting to make areligious link can easily do so usingeither the short prayer included or bytheir own understanding of religiousteachings and texts.
The 40 assemblies cover all of the definitions for ‘global’ as suggested by the global education charity DEA:
- Global citizenship
- Conflict resolution
- Diversity
- Human rights
- Interdependence
- Social justice
- Sustainable development
- Values and perceptions.
“We live in one world. What we do affects others, and what others do affects us, as never before. To recognise that we are all members of a world community and that we all have responsibilities to each other is not romantic rhetoric, but modern economic and social reality.”
Putting the world into world-class education, DCSF
“Global Dimension” is not a curriculum subject but, as the name implies, an added dimension to all that happens in a school under the general heading of “Curriculum”. The National Curriculum continues to emphasise this perspective:
“The school curriculum should contribute to the development of pupils’ sense of identity through knowledge and understanding of the spiritual, moral, social and cultural heritages of Britain’s diverse society of loyal, national, European, Commonwealth and global dimensions of their lives.”
Assemblies are the perfect opportunity to reinforce this ethos, and Primary Assemblies for the Global Dimension is the ideal resource to support you in achieving this aim.
