Introduction
Activities for pupils on the personal and global impact of different economic models.
Brief overview
The Department for International Development (DIFD) has funded DEP to run a three year finance education project within secondary schools. Activities are being developed to help teachers and pupils understand the personal and global impact of different economic models – including the current global model and successful alternatives (such as ethical investment, participatory budgeting and micro-finance). The impact of all the models is explored from the personal to the global. The activities can be reinforced by engaging in real budgetary action in the school and within their school link.
Key aims
- To understand how personal financial actions impact on the wider world
- To explore ethical alternatives through games, participative activities and real-world budget management.
Activities
DEP have developed a short survey that is part of our background research to establish what's currently being taught in schools.
The survey shouldn't take more than ten minutes of your time and you could win a half-day interactive classroom activity for your students led by DEP.
