As the CAPEs shut down now that the funding has ceased we would like to keep Global citizenship education to the fore but expand to a more global focus.
Our TeachApac site has closed but you can still view the resources on our new GCED NZ site. https://sites.google.com/view/gcednz/home

You can also use our self-directed course on GCED to upskill in your own time.
