Global Learning October

 

October is to think about:


Social Justice means equal rights, wealth and opportunities for everyone.  

Question:

What should we do if we see someone is not being treated in the way that we would like to be treated?


If we want a fair, compassionate future then we need to challenge social justice issues such as racism, poverty, gender discrimination and climate injustice. 

Social justice issues are often connected, so we need to stand up for everyone, and not just speak out about the issues that affect us personally. 

We are much more effective at achieving social justice when we work together as we can learn from and support each other, understand how these issues connect, and use our different voices to help everyone to be heard.

Question:

How can we use our voices to help others to be heard?

Ways of promoting and practice Social Justice 

Rebooting social justice through protest. Many people attend protests or marches to speak out about social justice issues, and use placards (hand-held signs) to share their message. Design a placard to draw attention to a social justice issue of your choice.

Examples of where social injustice happens:

Climate change 
 Refugees 
Racism 
Food poverty 
Gender equality
