Working with the resources of the London Grid for Learning (LGfL) this site brings together a range of global dimension resources into a framework of familiar issues. It emphasises on-line activities and web-based information but also cross-references to printed materials. It is undergoing a process of teacher review and the content is being supplemented with new ideas using ICT tools.
