Resource Details
Description
Working Children Worldwide explores why children work, the range and nature of this work and how what we buy and what we do links us to working children. It encourages children to consider why child labour is an important issue, and looks at child labour as exploitative and also where it enables children to make a positive contribution to their families.
The educational pack has information, activities and materials needed to take pupils on an investigation of children’s work, past and present. It supports key skills in CSPE, geography, history, English and literacy through a contemporary and important issue.
The pack contains:
- 22 stand-alone activities which explore the impact of work on children’s lives
- Four case studies from around the world that bring to life the experiences of working children
- Clearly presented curriculum links to help in planning lessons
- Full-colour A1 poster of children at work around the world.
