How have new technology and communications changed our society? And why is it important for us to imagine our future? This free set of learning resources invites pupils aged 7–11 to consider the future by thinking about the past – making a news report to show what’s changed in the last 30 years, reflecting on circular life cycles in nature, and even doing some History Yoga.
These resources are part of A Week in the Future, five sets of themed learning resources inspired by GALWAD: A story from our future – a multiplatform, multilingual story set in a possible future world of 2052. Each resource can be presented as standalone lessons or across a full week of learning, and includes background information, links, curriculum mapping and ideas for practical activities.
You can access each set of resources for free via the main GALWAD learning page, and through the individual pages dedicated to Day 1 – The Past, Day 2 – People, Day 3 – Place, Day 4 – The Planet and Day 5 – The Future. Each of these pages contains links to download free PDF and PowerPoint files, and to stream free online films hosted on YouTube.
