Tools for Solidarity Activity Pack
The aim of the Tools For Solidarity Activity Pack is to reinforce the topics covered in primary schools as part of the organisation's Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) programme. These include: poverty, fairtrade, inequality, resources and sustainability and life in Tanzania. You can see resources by topic below. This activity pack can also be used independently of the programme by educators, teachers and youth leaders, or as a home learning resource. |
