More than half of early childhood deaths could be prevented with simple and affordable health care. Yet millions of families in developing communities around the world don’t have access to health care. By taking part in the WE Step Up campaign, students can help transform developing communities into healthy communities, engage their peers in physical fundraising activities, and take action on global issues.
Students can become active agents of change by learning how to lead a healthy lifestyle and by organising events such as danceathons or walkathons to address a global issue like access to health care.
Each lesson is designed to empower students to make positive health decisions and apply their knowledge to help build healthy communities on a local and global scale. They will have the opportunity to reflect on their health habits and explore the physical and mental health benefits of maintaining an active lifestyle. Students will also examine the barriers to active living in our society and the effects that may arise from a lack of physical activity. The lessons are grounded in the WE Schools Learning Framework, ensuring students develop the core skill sets that help them achieve learning goals and become global citizens.
This lesson package has been designed to meet the Experiences and Outcomes set out in Curriculum for Excellence. It follows the principles of “Getting it Right for Every Child” (GIRFEC) by developing the promotion and support of the eight Well-being Indicators. Where possible, Scottish resources and references have been used to ensure it is relevant to young people in Scotland today. 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 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.
