Who do we think we are? is an education programme designed to engage primary and secondary schools in the exploration of identity, diversity and citizenship.
Funded by the Department for Children Schools and Families, and managed by a consortium of partners including the Association for Citizenship Teaching, Citizenship Foundation, Historical Association, Royal Geographical Society (with IBG) and citizenship consultant Paula Kitching, the four key areas of project work include:
A website containing learning resources: www.whodowethinkweare.org
Who Do We Think We Are? week, an activities programme for schools between 21-27 June 2010.
The creation of an online database and ‘Ideas Hub’ – signposting existing resources and support for the learning and teaching of identity, diversity and community
Curriculum development programmes to support targeted work with schools and young people in local authorities, particularly working with the School Linking Network.
Grants for Schools
During 2009, the WDWTWA Week project awarded 10 grants to maintained schools across the English regions to develop activities linked to the 'Who Do We Think We Are?' Week programme for 2009.
As part of WDWTWA Week 2010, schools are again being offered the opportunity to apply for grants of up to £500 to develop activities linked to the focus week in June 2010.
