Summer Seminar Series

The Teaching and Learning of Britishness and Fundamental British Values

Dr Sadia Habib

Teaching Britishness and ‘Fundamental British Values’ is a policy requirement increasingly placed on educational institutions yet the literature shows Britishness is fluid, evolving and often difficult to define for White British and ethnic minority youth, as well as for teachers, raising theoretical and pedagogical concerns about how best to respond to political initiatives. In the presentation I will focus upon the complexities of teaching and learning Britishness and Fundamental British Values (FBV) by examining: (i) the views of trainee teachers of Art who are attempting to make sense of FBV and (ii) the pedagogies employed by two Art classes in a southeast London school.

 Digitally Rewriting the Traditional Folk Tale: Children’s Learning Encounters

John Jessel (Goldsmiths University of London) and Mirela Dumić (International School of London, in Surrey)

Drawing on work carried out as part of a Paul Hamlyn funded project, we will examine some of the actions, decisions and reflections of three Croatian pupils aged 8-12 as they bring a famous fairy tale from their home country to a wider audience using opportunities that digital technology provides by allowing words, imagery and sounds in a variety of forms to be creatively combined and shared.
