Going for Goals! A toolkit for teaching and learning about the Millennium Development Goals.
This publication represents a permanent legacy of a three year DFID funded ‘Millennium Development Goals; Working with Cheshire Schools Project’.
The eight Millennium Development Goals, agreed on by 189 countries of the world in the year 2000, have formed the basis of the work of the project. Covering issues such as why going to school is so important, poverty, environmental sustainability and women’s health, the project adopted teaching methods such as Philosophy for Children (P4C) and Participatory Evaluation.
‘Going for Goals’ is a toolkit for teachers who would like to adopt some of the ideas and techniques that have been used successfully during the project. The publication features work from all the project schools and gives practical advice on ‘bringing the world into the classroom’.
The publication has been widely commended by teachers, advisors and DECs. CDEC has even received positive responses from Sir Jim Rose, DCSF and Gareth Thomas MP commented that “the publication is a very good example of how we can help equip young people in Britain to become global citizens”.
Price: £6.50

The Port – An Alphabet For All
As part of the Johnny Delaney initiative, 26 schools in the Ellesmere Port District were involved with CDEC in producing a global alphabet exhibition, which was displayed in the centre of Ellesmere Port in 2004. It was a stunning display of artwork and explored a whole range of issues. The words the schools chose included Peace, Diversity, Zodiac, Narrow Boat, Sport, Children & Celebration.
The work is illustrated and celebrated through the publication; ‘The Port, An alphabet for all’. This collaboration of work reflects how young people can work together to create their own response to the challenge of oppression, discrimination and inhumanity.

It is a positive celebration of the cultural diversity that exists in Cheshire.
The book illustrates how many links we have with the rest of the world and the need to value the cultural diversity that exists in Cheshire and the need to challenge values and attitudes that do not engender respect for that diversity.
