By enabling them to grasp the issues facing society and providing them with the right tools, Go-Givers gives children the confidence to take action on issues that really matter to them.
How do we do it?
Through a three-part website for teachers, children and parents, Go-Givers provides a wealth of resources, including bespoke web tools, to support learning and activities in primary schools. While covering issues from diversity and cohesion, to the environment and globalisation, the materials also support teachers in meeting curriculum targets, and complement the SEAL and Healthy Schools programmes.
The Go-Givers outreach programme provides targeted support and training to schools from experienced teachers - ensuring the website is used to its fullest.
Make a Difference Challenge
The Go-Givers Make a Difference Challenge is an active citizenship project that supports the aims of Every Child Matters, Community Cohesion and Pupil Voice. The children select a cause democratically. This may be related to their local community, a global issue or anything in between.
The children then plan a campaign, which may involve fundraising or taking direct action. Through this endeavour, they gain a real understanding of the issues, and learn to empathise with those who are disadvantaged. The Challenge culminates in a celebration day that brings schools together.
