The contribution of school linking projects to global education: Some geographical perspectives

Anna Disney

Abstract

This paper draws on the author's research into the contribution of school linking projects to the development of global education in the primary school curriculum. It draws on data from a variety of research contexts to reflect on and consider the role of geography in the development and effectiveness of school linking experiences. It argues that geography as a subject can bridge the gap between 'cultural exchange' and 'global citizenship' approaches and argues that geography can be usefully developed as the key organising principle underpinning school linking projects.
