Poverty to Prosperity (P2P) Teacher Training
Venue: CREA, Penrith; also on 29 September 2010 in Preston, venue tbc
P2P is an innovative development awareness project drawing inspiration from UK, Bulgaria, Hungary and Ghana. It is about enabling and inspiring young people to increase their understanding of the interconnections between EU and developing countries, inform how their actions can support developing countries, create the confidence for them to voice their opinions to decision-makers and focus on changing attitudes towards the Millennium Development Goals.
All UK secondary schools are eligible for a free copy of the P2P Challenge Packs; 'Biodiversity & Poverty' and 'Climate Change & Economy' with 5 lessons in each pack. All are supported by exciting, well designed materials for the Key Stage 3 age group.
All participants will be able to access the P2P website and work towards a School Charter demonstrating young people's aspirations for their brighter future. All schools will be invited to attend a National Schools Conference on 16th March 2011 to share great ideas with other young people and meet some key decision makers.
Those schools attending the free training sessions will be eligible for some additional support from in the autumn term, with preparations for planning and delivering this work to help you get the best from the P2P resources. Please contact Cumbria DEC to sign up for a training session or if you are unable to attend the training you can ask for a free copy of the resource and a self help guide.
P2P is funded by the EU. CDEC and FSC, Brockhole are the UK partners.
