About the British themes - Symbols of Citizenship

The British themes raise issues related to symbols of citizenship, especially aspects related to the Coventry area in the English Midlands.

The themes are about:

reconciliation, especially in international or group conflict;

relations with nature, especially the controversy about the historic sport of hunting;

equality at work, especially the ways in which traditional 'male' and 'female' jobs are changing;

globalisation, and the issues raised when schools organise visits to distant countries;

participation, linked to Lady Godiva, the symbol of Coventry;

democracy in the classroom through circle time;

respecting diversity - the Midlands have a wide range of ethnic communities;

financial awareness, a particular interest of the Centre for Education & Industry at Warwick.

There are also themes related to the national pavilions of other countries.

There is a webrary - a library of educational websites from all the countries in the NEOTHEMI project.
