Classroom activities for ages 8-14
Oxfam is a global movement of millions of people who share the belief that, in a world rich in resources, poverty isn't inevitable, and is an injustice that can and must be overcome.
With links to English, geography and citizenship, these thought-provoking activities explore how Oxfam is working with people around the world to help create a fairer, kinder and more sustainable future for everyone.
Learners will:
- Develop empathy and critical thinking skills.
- Discuss what we need to thrive in life and whether everyone has access to these things.
- Explore features of their identity and consider how a person's intersecting identities can affect their opportunities and experiences.
- Use colourful photographs to investigate how Oxfam works with others to take action on different issues.
- Reflect on what their ideal future would be like and think about what changes are needed to make this a reality.
