North West Global Education Network

Stimulate Your Thinking

Issues in global education often rouse passions and create debate and discussion. There are few easy answers - indeed, the process of creatively and dynamically thinking for yourself is a crucial part of a global education, nor does this ever come to an end.

To stimulate thinking, discussion and debate, NWGEN commissioned Jaya Graves of Southern Voices to write some 'think pieces'. Jaya says "These topics came through discussions. They are practitioner driven, experiential and conversational, not academic". They can be downloaded (below) as Word documents.
