Where we live is just as important as how we live, so how can we dream up our homes, schools and workplaces of the future? This free set of learning resources invites pupils to think about the importance of place in their lives, and to consider how we can build the places of tomorrow – designing a method of community living fit for 2052, taking virtual reality (VR) holidays, imagining a world without money, and even playing a game of Transport Trumps.
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.
