If I didn't go to school

Students think about what their day and future would look like without access to education.

Steps

1. We show data: how many children in the world do not go to school (UNESCO report).
2. In groups, students describe one day of a child who works instead of studying.
3. Each group lists three skills that this child will not acquire.
4. Finally, we write down what we value most about school ourselves.

Tip: You can find data on the UNESCO website in the section dedicated to education; it is updated every year.

Materials needed

• Brown wrapping paper (1 sheet per group)
• Permanent markers (1 set per group)
