This teaching resource is based on Article 27 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, the right to a decent standard of living, and explores global citizenship and economic well-being.
Topical issues relating to money will help young people make choices that are both financially and economically sound. Case studies bring a global perspective. Just Living is relevant to many secondary-level curriculum areas, especially the Economic Well-being and Financial Capability strands of PSHE.
How can it be used?
Just Living has been written as a series of six flexible units of work which could be used as a scheme of work, as part of a tutorial programme, timetables lessons, or adapted to be used as workshops on ‘off timetable’ enrichment days. Just Living also supports key elements of UNICEF UK’s Rights Respecting Schools Award.
