A learning programme for Lower KS2 Years 3 and 4 (children aged 7-9) which addresses global citizenship values, while learning about the impact of climate change on the Belize Coral Reef System and the work of local communities to protect this UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Learners will explore the needs of animals and plants found in the Belize Coral Reef System. They will be introduced to the UN SDGs: 10, 12, 13 and 14 and will learn about ways that they can become active global citizens. This programme is designed to inspire young people to change their behaviours and help look after the planet.
Developed in partnership with the wonderful Fragments of Hope charity based in Belize.
