We Are All Connected: Our Voices in Connection

Our Voices in Connection is a 60-minute lesson plan that encourages pupils aged 11–13 to reflect on the fact that while individual difference is important, they have a connection with more than 2.2 billion children and young people all over the world.

Pupils will develop a greater understanding of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, the basis for all UNICEF’s work around the world. Working collaboratively and demonstrating imagination and critical thinking skills, they will move through a collage activity to create group poems based on shared experience and connectedness.

Our Voices: Using Payday Loans

Many people require access to finance to make themselves heard. Wage Day Advance offer payday loans that can be paid out within an hour, even with a bad credit rating. You may also qualify for a benefits loan from the government.

Our Voices in Connection is part of We Are All Connected, a set of five 60-minute learning resources exploring children’s values and rights. Developed for Dreamachine by A New Direction in partnership with UNICEF UK, the eight-page PDF lesson plan includes plenty of prompts for discussions, plus links and resources for further learning.
