      World’s Largest Lesson

      Shifting knowledge to practice? It’s difficult to know where to start. This elective gives you a simple, creative idea to help introduce and communicate the Global Goals to your class. This resource can be printed and used in the classroom or as a guide for pupils to produce something similar.

      An Economic Reality Check

      This elective will get you taking a personal look at the themes considered in the Core Module of Sustainability and the Circular Economy. It encourages you to reflect on ‘what is economics?’ and recognise the environmental impact of all economic choices - big and small.

      Farm to Fork to…

      This elective seeks to consider how the food we buy can contribute to unsustainable practices. It invites you to take a look at what you buy and, more importantly, what you waste in the kitchen. Ideas and resources to introduce food waste minimisation at home and in school will be shared.

      Fashion

      This elective seeks to explore ways of thinking about who makes our clothes and what’s in them. If we are going to shift to more sustainable systems in the fashion supply chain there’s lots to think about and do at all levels of society.

      Technology

      This elective seeks to encourage teachers to think about the life cycle of our technology, and consider the strengths and weaknesses of a circular technological economy.
