Strand: Human Environments

Strand unit: People and Other Lands

Content objective:
This resource should enable a child to:

become aware of various ethnic, religious and linguistic groups of peoples in Ireland, Europe and the wider world
learn to value and respect the diversity of peoples and their lifestyles in these areas and other parts of the world
study some aspects of the environments and lives of people in one location in Europe and one location in another part of the world

Suggestions for use: When each group has selected nine rights they should begin working through the 32 Syria refugee cards and, in each case, ask critically: ‘To what extent does this child or these children enjoy any of the rights my group has selected?’ A group scribe should take notes including supporting evidence. If time is short the number of cards could be reduced.
