Developing globally minded and motivated students

Presenter(s): Leah Hopkinson, Kevin Hiatt

Join Leah Hopkinson, Primary and Lower Secondary expert, and Kevin Hiatt, Head of International Resources, as they explore how Pearson's Global Citizenship pathway supports international school students aged 3 to 16.

  • Inspires collaboration and thoughtful discussion
  • Builds critical thinking skills around a wide range of global issues
