Yes- Shift Does Happen!

shift happens is a youtube phenomenon from a few years ago which spawned countless imitators, but it is still very thought-provoking and should act as an excellent introduction to some of the issues surrounding globalisation.

I remember being shown ‘shift happens’ (yes- shiFt) a few years ago when I was doing my PGCE, but it’s still relevant today and I intend to use it, possibly along with a recent update from the same people called ‘did you know? 4.0’ as introductions to some of the issues surrounding globalisation. I hope it will make students realise their place in our globalised economy, and particularly how interconnected everyone is nowadays. It might even make them work a bit harder if they get frightened about having to compete with all those Chinese and Indian graduates!
