Empowering students to take action as global citizens
Inviting People & Planet into school or college is an excellent way to engage your students in active learning on global issues. People & Planet engages students in discussions and empowers them to take action on fulfilling the post -16 citizenship learning objectives set out by QCA.
The tangible benefits for students within People & Planet network are:
They train and act as peer educator
They develop their communication and persuasion skills.
They will learn how to engage with political processes.
They will experience making a positive difference within their communities.
What happens when I invite People & Planet into my school or college?
A member of the People & Planet team will visit your school to run a workshop on Climate Change or Fairtrade clothes. Those students who are inspired to take action will then be invited to attend a follow up session that is normally arranged for the following week. A member of the People & Planet team will then help the students to organise themselves into creative campaigning group.
People & Planet groups have done all manner of activities in Schools and Colleges:
held assemblies
opened fairtrade cafes
started recycling schemes
Achieved Fairtrade status
Switched schools to renewable energy
Other ways to get involved
We regularly hold engaging and informative events for students around the country. You can also order one of our Fair Trade or Climate Change resources to help your students make a difference.
