educating for justice and sustainability
What is the One World Centre?
The One World Centre implements the Global Education Project, a
professional learning initiative, for educators in WA.
We offer professional development workshops on a range of global and
development issues at the centre, in schools and at universities for teachers
and pre-service teachers.
Education Officers work with teachers and schools on programmes and
resources, and to take a whole school approach to global education.
The OWC library provides a wide range of global education teaching and
learning resources suitable for teachers and students.

Gapminder – Unveiling the beauty of statistics to
create a fact-based world view.
“…the lines didn't represent coasts or rivers or political
borders, but real human relationships… It's not just a
pretty picture, it's a reaffirmation of the impact we have
in connecting people, even across oceans and borders...”

What’s Global Education?
“Enabling young people to participate in a better shared
future for all is at the heart of global education.
Global education promotes open-mindedness leading to
new thinking about the world and a predisposition to take
action for change. Students learn to take responsibility for
their actions, respect and value diversity, and see themselves
as global citizens who can contribute to a more peaceful,
just and sustainable world”

RUMOUR CLINIC
From Theme Work: Approaches for Teaching with a Global Perspective. Development Education Centre
“The single story creates stereotypes,
and the problem with stereotypes
is not that they are untrue, but that
they are incomplete. They make
one story become the only story.”
Chimamanda Adichie – Nigerian Novelist

Natural
These are questions about the
environment - the land, the sea, living
things, and their relationship to each
other. These questions are about the
built as well as the natural
environment
Who decides (political)
These are questions
about power, who makes
choices and decides what
is to happen; who
benefits or loses as a
result of these decisions;
and at what cost
Economic
These questions
are about money,
trading and
ownership,
buying and
selling
Social
These are questions about people, their
relationships, their traditions, culture and
the way they live. They include questions
about how, for example, gender, race,
disability, class and age affect social
relations
