Teacher guide Giving it: resources for secondary schools

TLF ID M020054

This series of resources explores the concept of philanthropy and considers why and how active citizens participate in communities. Student worksheets examine the concept of civic responsibility and explore the values underpinning the act of giving. Research activities encourage students to explore different community groups and their impacts. A video dictionary explains key terms and concepts and a series of video case studies introduce students to a variety of people who give and the contributions they make. An interactive 'Giving Wheel' provide a stimulus for researching the different forms of giving from social enterprises and charities to individuals who simply help others in need. The Giving it database curates a range of programs that are available to further explore philanthropy.
