Other Ideas
Working with local, national and international charities will be accepted as evidence for our Global Citizenship topic from Send a Cow, helping to lift an African Community out of Poverty, to learning about the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.
Send a Cow
Send a Cow trains rural African communities in the skills they need to grow food and earn an income, their resources facilitate conversations with students about Africa, food and sustainability teaching young people to be global citizens. Their living with wildlife appeal teaches school children in Uganda about conservation.

UN Sustainable Development Goals
Interestingly, like Eco-Schools the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were a result of the 1992 Rio Earth Summit. The SDGs are a blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all by addressing the interlocking global challenges we face for example poverty or climate change. It’s never too early to begin thinking about these challenges from discussing what it feels like to be hungry to talking about being friendlier to each other.
