Global issues: 

World conflicts and current affairs 

Call to action!

Context

Global issues range in severity from minor issues to global catastrophic risks that threaten the existence of the entire human race or its society.

Solution to global issues generally require cooperation among nations. However, you, as young and global citizens, can do your bit to help and contribute to inspire young people to take an active part in society. 

Will you be able to think how raise awareness about current world conflicts and affairs and call to action?

Dear students,

In this term, in Social Science, we are talking about Imperialism and Decolonisation and we are analysing several present world conflicts. All of them have common causes and characteristics as you have seen. 

Now it's time to choose one and explain to the world what happens!!!!!

Among your ideas, all the 4th grade students will vote the best and we will organize an awareness day for the whole school. Do you dare? What do you think about this?

How? below you are going to see the way you'll work... 

But before, remember what we have worked...
