Background
The Humanities Education Centre is based in Tower Hamlets and works
closely with a number of teams in the Children's, Schools and Families
Directorate. After a meeting with the Acting Director of Children's Services and Bernadette Clinton (who agreed to be the link adviser), HEC was invited to make a presentation on Local4Global to a School Improvement Service day.
HEC is working with Bernadette on a Global Learning Strategy for Enfield Children Services. The policy can then be shared with other local authorities, as will other relevant activities and pieces of work. The borough is keen to identify strategic opportunities for incorporating the global dimension including community cohesion and leadership.
Agreed actions are:
- Local4Global presentation at the Enfield School Improvement Service day at the beginning of April.
- Identification of a Local Authority ‘L4G team' for liaison with other NLSIN boroughs
- Individual borough activities and joint activities - sharing with other local authorities within and outside of the NLSIN network
As part of a presentation on the ISA by the British Council, HEC introduced Local4Global and highlighted the LGfL Global area to teachers and other colleagues.
Enfield is a member of the North London Schools International Network.
