Health is rooted in everyday life. When a community has health resources to prevent or overcome disease, families can find the stability to grow and prosper. Simple, preventative health measures, like vaccinations for newborns, and check-ups and vitamins for expecting mothers, could save millions of lives. Yet in so many regions around the world, families go without even the most basic health care.
Free The Children’s WE Villages is an international development model that provides access to five key Pillars of Impact—Education, Water, Health, Food, and Opportunity—to empower communities with the means to forever lift themselves from poverty. Why these five Pillars of
Impact? Because together they can create powerful change. All five Pillars of Impact of the WE Villages model are owned and maintained by the community, and designed to be self-sustaining after the initial project implementation.
Since initiating the Health Pillar, tens of thousands of rural community members have been empowered with the knowledge to prevent disease, seek medical attention and improve their families’ well-being through healthy habits.
In this lesson package, pupils will be introduced to the Health Pillar, explore global health issues, discuss health care as a human right and investigate whether access to health care can serve as a tool for change. The lessons are grounded in the WE Schools Learning Framework ensuring pupils develop the core skill sets that help them achieve the learning goals that contribute to the outcomes of creating a global citizen.
Each lesson in the package is organised into starters, main activities and plenaries, with suggestions for differentiation. Clear learning objectives and success criteria following Bloom’s Taxonomy of Learning, ensure progression within each lesson and the package as a whole.
These lessons develop many aspects of character education and SMSC, with a holistic and tangible approach, encompassing local and global social awareness and action, and empowering young people to make positive changes in the world around them.
