Education is more than reading, writing and arithmetic. It is a powerful tool that can empower and improve livelihood. When children are educated, they are armed with the courage and self-confidence to better themselves, their families, their communities, and ultimately the next generation. Education may provide the highest return of any social investment by reducing poverty, reducing gender inequality and creating opportunities for economic growth.
Free The Children’s WE Villages is an international development model that provides access to five key Pillars of Impact—Education, Water, Health, Food, and Opportunity—to empower a community with the means to forever lift itself from poverty. Why these five Pillars of Impact?
Because together they can create powerful change. All five Pillars of Impact of the WE Villages model are owned and maintained by the community, and designed to be self-sustaining after the initial project implementation.
Since the creation of the Education Pillar, more than 1,000 schools and school rooms have been built in WE Villages communities, giving 200,000 children the opportunity to gain an education and realise their true potential.
In this lesson package, students will be introduced to the Education Pillar, explore how education can serve as a tool for change, investigate the local and global barriers that prevent access to education, and discover the journey children around the world take to receive an education. The lessons are grounded in the WE Schools Learning Framework, ensuring students develop the core skill sets that help them achieve the learning goals that contribute to the outcomes of creating a global citizen.
Each lesson in the package is organised into starters, main activities and plenaries, with suggestions for differentiation. Clear learning objectives with success criteria following Bloom’s Taxonomy of Learning ensure progression within each lesson and the package as a whole.
These lessons develop many aspects of character education and SMSC, with a holistic and tangible approach, encompassing local and global social awareness and action, and empowering young people to make positive changes in the world around them.
