  14. 4. It is hard to find materials for these topics. • UN international days • FB viral videos (e.g. Jax and his friend) • Website: film-english.com by Kieran Donaghy • Blog: visualteaching.blogspot.rs by Magdalena Wasilewska (e.g. Evan) • TED talks • Infographics (e.g. Social media) • Newspaper Articles to Get Teenagers Talking, Scholastic, 2006 • The teacher herself/himself as a resource!

  15. 5. Should I deal with these topics in my classes? YES! Because we don’t want to hear: “It doesn’t concern me, so I don’t know anything about it!“ But rather: “In this class I can talk about everything I want!“

  16. The summary of the session: • Find various sources of materials dealing with global issues to be used in classes • Decide on ways of tackling global issues appropriate to their teaching environment
