Support to Schools

Multi School Training Events

MUNDI works in partnership with a variety of statutory and non-statutory organisations as part of the East Midlands Network for Global Perspectives in Schools (EMNGPS) to support teachers by planning and delivering two multi-school training events every year.

In the academic year 2006/7 the two events were:

Developing the global learner - making a positive contribution – 5/10/06

This event offered support in developing cross-curricular initiatives and themes in schools which could lead to evidence for the School Evaluation Form (SEF) in terms of ‘Making a positive contribution', e.g.

Supporting your school to achieve the DfES International School Award (ISA) – 25/4/07

This event offered support for anyone involved in education in Nottingham City and Nottinghamshire County from KS 1 – 4 in applying for one of the three categories of the ISA: Foundation, Intermediate and Full through training, networking opportunities, presentations of international school linking case studies, information giving and supporting teachers in conducting an initial audit of which level of ISA is most appropriate for your school .

Thank you very much for our extremely worthwhile visit to MUNDI. Very well organised and delivered. Most interesting and useful from both parent and teacher point of view. Our children will certainly gain a wider appreciation and curiosity for our world through your resources.

•  Food and homes from around the world for years 1 and 2

•  Sporting Cities/heroes/heroines and Kick Racism out of football for year 6
