‘Developing the Global Dimensions in Peterborough Schools’ was a two year project co-funded by the Department for International Development (DfID) and The Leprosy Mission to engage six primary schools in development issues and support children to become effective global citizens. Using the writer's perspective of the project as Head of Programmes Coordination at The Leprosy Mission, it will be reflected on the importance of the Global Dimension in primary education and explore how these primary schools developed their curriculum, policies and ethos to ensure children are better prepared for the global world in which we live.
