Budget for a safer world: Assembly

In this assembly, students will explore 4 different ways the world could be made safer and vote on the best way.

With $1.7 trillion spent on the militaries of the world, the International Peace Bureau and many other organisations question whether we would be safer by spending the money on other things.

Everyone in the assembly will get a chance to vote on how to spend the £45 billion which currently makes up the United Kingdom Defence Budget.

A full lesson plan involving more maths and debate is also available.
