Are you looking for IDL opportunities for your young people? Are you committed to building outward-looking, engaged citizens? Look no further than SEET’s Our World project. 

SEET run language learning and global citizenship projects for children and young people across Scotland. This CLPL session takes a deeper look at Our World, a filmmaking project for S1-6 pupils. 

Our World asks young people to come up with a storyboard for a multilingual short film. Their ideas are based on a set theme - the UN Sustainable Development Goals – and ask teams of up to four to work together to research, develop and plan a short film. Those which we feel respond best to the theme are invited to an all-day filmmaking workshop (these take place in various locations across the country) where participants get the chance to bring their ideas to life with the help of a professional filmmaker. Filmmakers are then invited to a Premiere & Awards Ceremony where they showcase their films in front of family, friends, and SEET partners, and receive recognition of all their hard work. 

This session, aimed at secondary school teachers, looks at Our World in more detail, discussing its educational benefits and its ability to aid young people in meeting the principal aims of the CfE, as well as developing their core skills. It will also give the opportunity to ask questions at the end.
