Poverty is local and world-wide, is man-made and will take people like you to help end it. Here’s how you can help:
Do the following lesson and take the suggested actions adjusted to your class and your school and SHARE your actions on your schools notice board, website or social media platform.
Lesson:

Curriculum area: SPHE, English, Religion, Ethical Education or SESE.
Introduction: Teacher led: Look at the poster (above) and discuss the meanings of the words and the content of the picture.(A larger version of the picture in the poster can be seen below)
Pupils work: Copy or design your own poster with a similar theme:- Respecting the Dignity of All Humanity.
Class or school Action: Bring your class, with their pictures/posters (on a march) to another class or a simple assembly and have your pupils Show, Chant or Explain their work and the theme of Respecting the Dignity of All Humanity.

Resources
Concern have produced a nice resource that has plenty of extra content as it explores in greater detail the issue of poverty and Global Goal 1 No Poverty (SDG#1). The content can be adapted as per requirement and is an excellent supplement to the work begun. Click HERE to access this content.This poster comes as an insert in the InTouch INTO Teachers Magazine Nov-Dec Issue Here. On pages 10 and 11 of this issue we have published an article "Climate Justice and the young Activist - an intergenerational approach."
LEAVE NO-ONE BEHIND is our annual 17th October action based on The United Nations END POVERTY DAY. The aim is to ERADICATE EXTREME POVERTY. Poverty is not natural, it is a man-made infliction on millions of people worldwide and this includes people who live in the wealthiest nations such as in Ireland and the U.S.A. Currently there is enough food to feed our planet's 8 billion people but almost one billion people are living in extreme poverty or dying from a lack of one basic meal per day.
Our END POVERTY DAY 2020 message is:
"#LeaveNoOneBehind"
