The Social and Citizenship Education Association of Queensland (SCEAQ) is offering five SCEAA members the opportunity to complete the 'Leading Education for Global Citizenship and Global Competence' microcredential from Central Queensland University for free.
 
The self guided modules take around 8 hours to complete, and  will:

• enhance your understanding of education for global competence and how it relates to the Australian Curriculum and the Early Years Learning framework
• equip you with the resources, evidence-based practices and practitioner case studies you need to foster a culture of global citizenship in your school, centre or classroom
• develop your leadership potential in the field of education for global citizenship, which could assist with your future career goals.

SCEAA members might remember Blue Dragon from previous conferences. They've asked us to share the following information. 

Blue Dragon has a webinar coming up on April 12 to share what we are learning about how to end human trafficking. Details are here:

We've organized two different times, to reach different time zones, but it's the same content each time. I believe that Session 1 is likely the most convenient for people in Australia. 

It would be great if you could join us and also share this around with your network. We'll be talking in very practical terms about what we're doing; what works; and what we are still trying to figure out. Plus we'll share an update about what's been happening with human trafficking since the end of Covid lockdowns. to edit.
