Working Children Worldwide
Working Children Worldwide provides the information, activities and materials
needed to take pupils on an investigation of children's work, past and
present. Its cross-curricular approach enables teachers to cover core
curriculum requirements and teach key skills in PSHE/Citizenship, Geography,
History, English and Literacy through a contemporary and important issue.
The pack looks at why children work, at the range and nature of this work
and at how what we buy and what we do links us to working children. It
encourages children to consider why child labour is an important issue,
and where it is dangerous and exploitative and where it enables children
to make a positive contribution to their families.
