What is the Team Project?
The Team Project for Global Perspectives is an important collaborative task that is assessed out of 70 marks and represents 35% of your final mark. It is therefore essential that groups work well together to complete this. Each year in Global Perspectives, you will work towards completing a group project. In Year 11, your group project will be formally submitted to the exam board for assessment. All students therefore have three years in which to perfect their communication and collaboration skills. It is important that Year10 students work well to help the Year 11 students complete the project.
The Team project is both a research investigation into a global perspectives topic and a planned action/outcome based on that topic. For instance, groups could research a global issue such as food waste. They would research the issue from an international, local, personal and cross-cultural perspective, then plan an outcome such as a 'raising awareness' campaign within school or your local community. As well as raising awareness, groups should consider to undertake some form of action designed to promote 'change'. In this context it could be a campaign calling on students to waste less food, setting up a food recycling programme or working with a catering company on setting up new waste management protocols. This list of possible outcomes/actions that could be created is endless and example of these can be found later on in this section of the website.
