Description

Using a range of case studies from human rights to fracking and climate action, pupils consider how they can take responsible action to tackle some of the challenges currently facing society.

Pupils learn about global problems and challenges as they develop a broader awareness of the world. Understanding complex issues that interconnect people and the planet such as climate change, poverty and inequality is crucial for fostering a sense of shared responsibility. This knowledge empowers them as they consider the actions that governments and those in power can take. Alongside this they consider our own choices and decisions, and learn how they can be part of positive change, promoting a sense of collaboration, responsibility and global citizenship.
