Resource Title

For People and Planet: Our World Irish Aid Awards Lesson Plans

Summary

The One World Irish Aid Awards were created in order to increase students understanding of the United Nations Global Goals and the work of Irish Aid, and to assist pupils to explore the links between their lives and the lives of children in developing countries.

This year the OWIAA theme ‘For People and Planet’ is geared towards helping primary-aged children to gain some understanding of the need to bring about good and lasting changes (sustainable development) in our world, so that the lives of people everywhere can be improved for the better, now and in the future.
