Curriculum Relevance:

The programme addresses a range of specific curriculum requirements for citizenship. It is also a topical and stimulating resource for English and Media Studies activities. Further details about these are included in the Activities section.

Citizenship: Key Stages 3 & 4

Curriculum provision of Education for Citizenship is statutory in England. It is anticipated that it will become statutory in Northern Ireland by 2005/2006. There is on-going work to build on existing practice within Community Learning in Scotland and within existing PSHE programmes in Wales. England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales all currently offer curricular provision in PSHE.

Links to themes in PSHE/Education for Citizenship

The following themes are broadly common areas across the various curricula:
  • identity: personal, social, national, etc.
  • diversity
  • human rights
  • equality and justice
  • personal, social and moral responsibility
  • democracy and particpation
The programme provides relevant stimulus material for pupils at Key stages 3 and 4 to explore and respond to these themes.

Links to Learning for Life and Work:

The programme can help meet the requirements for Module 1 (Local and Global Citizenship) of this NICCEA GCSE qualification. It provides relevant stimulus material for candidates to research and investigate:
  • expressions of cultural identity in a local context
  • factors that create and influence cultural identity
  • how conflicts of identity arise
  • the causes and consequences of prejudice, stereotyping, sectarianism and racism in Northern Ireland
  • strategies for promoting inclusion
