The Food and Freedom project ran from 2004 to 2007 and was funded by the Department for International Development’s (DfID) Development Awareness Fund. |
Programme Activities:
P4C Training
The P4C training for teacher in UK and Ghana ran from April 2004 to March 2006, and worked with teachers, pupils and advisors within six LEAs in England - Redbridge, Cumbria, Gloucestershire, Hampshire and Oxford, and Aberdeenshire in Scotland, as well as with schools in Ghana’s Western Region. More than 100 teachers in approximately 50 schools have received SAPERE Level 1 training (12 hours, certificated) and more than 30 were funded further to Level 2.
The training has been extremely well received by the teachers who continue to give very positive feedback on the courses they participated in, many of which have specified benefits regarding pupil communication and thinking skills, their teaching approaches, and dealing with Global Citizenship (GC) issues.
In their evaluation, a Level 2 course participant wrote;
‘Ultimately the whole experience has been life/work changing, I only hope I can do it properly and do P4C justice’.
