The result was Thinking Otherwise.

- How does this concept relate to digital literacy?

- What are the benefits for me, my students and my community?

The result was Thinking Otherwise.
Four secondary schools from across Europe and two small educational charities collaborated to share expertise and deepen our understanding of the intersection between global learning, critical thinking and digital literacy.
We set out to ask ourselves questions, challenge our assumptions, think deeply, reflect and apply our learning in our own lives and settings.
- Would our discoveries equip us to consider some of the complex, inter-related challenges of our time - globalisation, migration, radicalisation, polarisation and isolation?
- How could we support our students to develop the knowledge, understanding, values and skills to thrive and grow in this ever changing, uncertain world?
