Curious and Critical GCE Episode 11 - Storytelling, cross-curricular teaching, and worldviews with Orlaith O’Brien and Róisín Kelly

Graphic for Curious and Critical GCE podcast

Curious and Critical GCE is a podcast series all about global citizenship education which was developed to accompany the book Global Citizenship Education: Curious Teachers, Critical Classrooms. The podcast series is hosted by Dr Brighid Golden, lecturer in Global Citizenship Education at MIC, and member of the national DICE Project Network for over ten years. 

During MIC term time, there will be weekly episodes in which Brighid talks to educators about their experiences implementing GCE with curiosity and criticality in their different education settings. This podcast series is for students, teachers, and anyone who is interested in how GCE can be implemented in different educational settings.

Episode 11: Storytelling, cross-curricular teaching, and worldviews with Orlaith O’Brien and Róisín Kelly

In this episode I talk with recent MIC BEd graduates Orlaith O’Brien and Róisín Kelly who are now working as primary school teachers. Róisín and Orlaith both completed a specialism in global citizenship education during their degrees and share their experiences of learning about and teaching GCE themselves. Listen to them discuss how engaging with GCE helped them to broaden their understanding of the world and learn how to communicate complex issues in child-friendly ways.
