Non-Violent Action: A Force For Change National Conference
by DECSY
Date and time
The launch of cross-curricular learning materials which use inspiring case studies to engage young people in action for change.
About this event
This national conference will bring together teachers and other educators who have developed and trialled lessons which use Philosophy for Children (P4C) to:
- Provide inspiring case studies of groups of people locally and from around the world, past and present, involved in non-violent social change at a variety of levels and for a variety of causes.
- Offer pupils ways to think critically about gender issues and enable them to understand that masculinity can be expressed in non-violent ways.
- Engage pupils with local and global issues so that they feel motivated to work for change.
- Help pupils to decide on actions with a local or global impact and give them the tools to carry them out.
The key note speaker will be Grace Lockrobin who is the Co-Director of the national P4C organisation SAPERE. There will also be workshops provided by teachers/ pupils and a panel of young activists.
