What is the Global Fellowship?

The Global Fellowship programme works with school and college leavers, youth community representatives and apprentices to give them a strong foundation in interacting with one of the major countries of the new global economy.

Since 2008 we have sent 300 amazing young people to Brazil, China or India to investigate issues of culture, language, education and global enterprise. They have experienced first-hand the social, economic and environmental effects of globalisation and learning what a positive role we can play in the process. 

On their return all Fellows automatically become part of a network of active globally-minded young people in England with a role communicating their experiences and learning on local and national platforms, to raise awareness of global issues.

Now the Fellowship can be accessed from the classroom with the introduction of the National Schools Partnership GlobalEyes curriculum resource. It works to deliver an educational lesson framework as a live interactive globalised site with access to various Fellows’ profiles detailing their experiences abroad.

Why are we here?

There is no doubt about it; we live, work, communicate and socialise in a world which is rapidly changing, where all aspects of life are becoming increasingly interdependent. 

We are making a statement about the need for Britain's young generation to understand the opportunities and challenges for them in the new global economy and are providing them with a vehicle through which to communicate a new narrative to the general public. 

We want to give young people a voice in what Britain needs to do in the future.

Who do we work with?

We work with young people who are enthusiastic in taking a role in communicating to others how important it is to engage proactively with the world around us. We don't tell them what to say - we suuport them in finding their own voice and telling their own stories about living in an interdepentent world.

Global Fellows are:

• self-starters and potential leaders motivated by cultural investigation
• strong communication skills
• an open-minded attitude which responds well to unfamiliar situation

We also work with schools and teachers around the country and suuport their efforts to bring the world into the classroom, highlighting the realitites of globalisation to students, promoting language learning and global citizenship.
