The Playfair 2012 Campaign has launched with new cross-curriculum teaching resources for learners aged 9-14.
“Lesson ideas and activities make links between different subjects including art and design, citizenship, English, geography and maths. By using this pack, pupils can develop their understanding of why decent working conditions are part of the United Nations Millennium Development Goals to end poverty, and take practical actions to help make the world a fairer place.” (Playfair 2012 Campaign)
We’ve reported on the campaign in the past, recommending teachers utilize this interactive online game in the classroom.
New resource materials include:
- 10 lesson plans
- 14 activity sheets
- 4 colour photo cards
- a DVD
Educators can order material directly from the campaign, or download the education packages, activity cards and pamphlets.
The campaign coalition is made up of Labour Behind the Label, the Trades Union Congress, the International Textile, Garment & Leather Workers Federation, the International Trade Union Federation, the Clean Clothes Campaign, Maquila Solidarity Network and Clearing the Hurdles.
