Description of activity
Students use the internet and other resources to research information on a global organisation whose work either promotes ecological sustainability or reduces global inequalities. They record the results of their research in short answers to a list of focus questions about the organisation and present it in poster or multimedia format.
This activity would take about three hours.
Context
This activity is from a unit on Global Change (4G3). Its purpose is to draw together many of the issues involved in this topic, in particular, the way in which individuals and groups can impact on the global community to improve global life opportunities and promote ecological sustainability. Students have some experience with independent research and are able to use the internet.
