Global Education resources for classrooms
Help your students understand Australia's place in the global landscape
Australia’s children should grow up with an understanding of the world and a sense of Australia’s place within it.
Global Education lesson plans encourage students to be active, thoughtful global citizens by exploring Australia’s role in the world in practical ways. The plans enrich core subjects with ready-to-use content on equity, sustainability and Australia’s international development role, aligned to Years 3–10 Humanities, Science and Design and Technologies.
Designed by educators for educators, the lesson plans are delivered by Education Services Australia for the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT). They’re easy to incorporate into existing curriculum designs and help teachers make global citizenship part of everyday learning.
What’s in the resources?
Each pack includes:
- Curriculum-aligned lesson plans
- Classroom activities and worksheets
- Practical tools that connect global issues with students’ everyday learning
- Real-world scenarios that promote sustainable development and regional partnerships, with a focus on the Asia–Pacific region
These resources save teachers time, provide trusted and credible content, and give confidence that lessons are directly tied to curriculum priorities.
Why should you include Global Education resources in your classes?
By equipping teachers to bring global issues into the classroom, the lesson plans help nurture a generation of Australians who are informed, empathetic, and ready to contribute to stronger, more connected communities at home and abroad.
