To the oppressed, and to those who suffer with them and fight at their side (Paulo Freire, 1970)

Anti-poverty Professional Learning for the Teaching Profession

Online

As well as the online sessions (see Module pages), the PACT Team, Community, and our friends and partners, have made a series of film resources about the Project itself and on issues in the Programme.  Some of these are elsewhere on the site, some in our Resource Packs, some on the Main EIS site – we’ve simply brought them together for you.

Why PACT?

We asked EIS colleagues, PACT Project Advisory Board Members and DFM John Swinney to give us their views on some questions about PACT. You can see short films of their answers here:
