What can we do now to make a better future for ourselves? This free set of learning resources invites pupils aged 7–11 to explore some of the practical steps they could take to improve life on Earth, from following some of the examples on the Eco-Schools Bright Ideas postcards to promoting their movements for change within and beyond their own communities.
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.
