Later in the day am delighted to see a review of I Packed This Myself on Global Dimension, a website funded by DFID (the government's Department for International Development) promoting educational resources.
Why Global Dimension? From the website...
The global dimension explores our connections with the rest of the world. With a global dimension to their education, learners can engage with complex global issues and explore the links between their own lives and people, places and issues throughout the world.
