ASDAN PDP- 2A2- Research organisations that work internationally

This ready-to-use worksheet supports ASDAN students with the 2A2 Research organisations that work internationally, focusing on the Extreme Earth theme (volcanoes, tsunamis, earthquakes, hurricanes, cyclones, and floods).

The activity provides a structured research frame with clear subheadings and prompts to guide learners through investigating one UK-based organisation that carries out international development or relief work. Pupils can choose from a list of well-known charities (e.g. British Red Cross, ShelterBox, Christian Aid, Oxfam, Save the Children UK, Plan International UK, ActionAid UK, CAFOD, Tearfund, MapAction).

The worksheet includes sections for:

-Basic information about the organisation.
-Where they work internationally.
-Types of disasters they respond to.
-Emergency and long-term development work.
-How they are funded.
-Real-life examples of disasters they have supported.

Space for pupil reflection on why the organisation’s work is important.
