Webinar: Picturebooks to spark empathy and social justice actions
Recorded in June 2022
Hosted by David Valente, this webinar is based on ideas from the Erasmus+ project: ICEPELL (Intercultural Citizenship Education through Picturebooks in early English Language Learning). First, we consider some of the reasons for focusing on intercultural citizenship education (ICE) in primary ELT. Next, we explore why picturebooks have particular potential for sparking children’s empathy and social justice actions beyond the classroom walls.
Using the evocative picturebook, We Are Water Protectors by Carole Lindstrom and Michaela Goade (Roaring Brook Press, 2020), examples of creative teaching ideas for ICE are showcased. Then, the benefits for teachers of working collaboratively as an ‘International Community of Practice’ (ICoP) when creating primary ELT materials are outlined.
Finally, some freely-downloadable teaching resources created by primary English teachers for primary English teachers, based on 18 picturebooks are shared. These offer a flexible and supportive blueprint for teachers aiming to co-create picturebook materials as an ICoP for ICE.
