13. Project background: Why is the project taking place? Why is the need form the project?	There is a need for work that enables curriculum planning and learning assessment, on a range of development issues and learning competences: not only taking into account and measuring pupils’ attitudinal change, but also changes in their levels of understanding, skills and practical engagement with development. The success of an earlier pilot project supported the need for this one.

(If you project is less than 1 year old feel free to ignore this question)	Publication of the methodology as a toolkit (How do we know its working?) across the partner counties. It includes 40+ activities for measuring pupils’ attitudinal change, with case studies to support teachers in developing their Global Citizenship practice. This resulted from the excellent collaborative work of all project partners and subcontractors. The methodology was extensively trialled by teachers and trainee teachers in each country, with the website including films of teachers talking about the importance and effectiveness of the methodology in their schools. The ambitious scale of the project involving 16 universities, hundreds of schools and thousands of pupils, made it of relevance to education practitioners everywhere.
