WE Take Charge Secondary Lesson Package

Introduce students to the issue of sustainability, help them understand specific matters of sustainability by examining them from a new perspective, and challenge them to live more sustainably every day.

Together, let’s help young people make the changes today that will create a better tomorrow, preserving the world for future generations.

WE Take Charge is a package of lessons that brings the issue of sustainability into the classroom and engages students in learning about the importance of living sustainably every day so future generations have the same opportunities that they have. Students will look at the issue of sustainability from a new perspective in order to better understand the topic. Consisting of lessons founded in the WE Schools Learning Framework, the programme will educate young people and help them find the role they play in the global sustainability movement.

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.
