Bananas
& (Cocoa) Beans
–-This pack is for anyone who has ever been shopping! It investigates
our links with people across the globe through trade in food and drink
products. The pack is divided into four parts, each of which can stand
alone, be used in sequence, or be used to build a new dimension into
existing schemes of work. It starts by raising awareness of our global
links, and then goes on to look at the negative impact these links
can have. Fair trade is introduced as a positive alternative, and
ways in which we can all take action for positive change follow on
from this. Each part includes teacher information, pupil activities
and photocopy friendly materials – and has been designed for minimum
teacher preparation and maximum pupil participation. |

Focus
for Change
-- Although over ten years since publication, this award winning pack
is still a valuable tool for teachers and facilitators who want to use
the popular media to explore issues of race, gender and class inequality.
The activities start with participants' own experiences and perceptions and move on to look at the wider political and economic structures which elevate and reward particular sections of society and marginalise and impoverish others. Where possible an international dimension to the issues is included. Themes include prejudice and media analysis; an introduction to race, gender and class through images; tourism in Nepal; work; images used by charities. Throughout the pack there is an emphasis on what we, as global citizens, can do to create a fairer world. Includes a set of 24 A4 colour photos which challenge media stereotypes. |

You need for a refugee assembly
What do Albert Einstein and Jerry Springer have in common? Einstein was a refugee and Springer the child of one! With over 12 million refugees in the world there are more now than at any other time in history – and most are living in African and Asian Countries. Relatively few settle in Britain, but those who have make a tremendous contribution to the society they have been forced to join. Public opinion on refugees and asylum seekers is strongly influenced by negative images and reporting in the media – this pack challenges the myths and stereotypes which promote prejudice. It aims to enable students and their teachers to: • find out more about refugee and asylum issues – the current situation as well as past events • develop empathy towards refugees and asylum seekers - personal stories are included to help participants understand and empathise with the human side of the issues • explore concepts such as human rights, justice, leaving home and being a newcomer • develop a commitment to justice, through exploring ways in which individuals and communities can take action to support refugees and asylum seekers. |
