Young Lives, Global Goals

Children, poverty and the UN Millennium Development Goals

This extensive Geography pack from Save the Children includes a 40-minute video, a poster, 16 photo cards and a teacher’s book with extensive notes and 20 teaching activities.

The pack looks at the themes of the Millennium Development Goals, through the lives of eight children living in Peru, Ethiopia, Vietnam and India. The activities of the pack focus on different topics, including health, sustainable development, food supply, education and economic development. The pack includes several pupil worksheets, including quizzes, viewing sheets, maps, and comparison activities. The pack also has detailed curriculum links for England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.

Altogether this is a valuable resource, and one that could be used to keep a class stimulated for a term or more.
