Global Bite: A Short, fun and engaging activity supporting young people to take
their first steps towards global learning and action.
Global Bites follow a global youth work approach, including the 3 elements of Connect,
Challenge and Change but do not require long-term commitment. They are specifically
designed to engage young people we are finding hard to reach and to provide them
with opportunities to take the first steps towards global learning and action.
Connect
Short, fun, exciting session brings a group of young people together, connects them
to a particular issue and makes the connections between the personal, local and
global dimensions of the issue.
Challenge
Participants are supported to challenge themselves and their ideas, critically explore
the issue and develop a personal or group challenge based on one of the themes:
- Influencing decision-makers
- Environmental action
- Raising awareness
- Celebrating community
- Challenging inequality/social justice
Change
Challenges are carried out and the young people involved are supported to reflect
on their learning and action and to think about change at a personal, local and
global levels. They are also signposted to further opportunities within and beyond
the project.
