On Monday 8th and Tuesday 9th Novemeber, we spent a lot of time brainstorming ideas, with a view to scoping the project. We all agreed that it should focus on sustainability. Four core themes were identified, each of which could be developed over a two year period, going from specific and local, to a more general and global consideration.
Food-meat, then looking more widely at food production, transportation
Water-our own consumption, and the management of water
Energy-domestic and school consumption, moving to national patterns of energy use
Waste-its disposal and impact.
So, we are moving from the pupils' observation and experience of each issue, to coming up with more general conclusions. First we examine the local and specific before considering global and general. We aim for pupils to get a real insight into the concept and the reality of sustainability. We hope to enhance their political literacy, too.
