We learnt about looking after the natural environment in term one and took action for te taiao | the environment in term 2. This term Kate will be teaching level 2 students and coaching level 3 students.
Level Two: Get to know yourself as you explore what you value, what other people value, and which values and behaviours will work to sustain the Earth. Use a case study of your choice, such as the School Strike for Climate, the Dakota Pipeline or Ihumātao where people have different values and perspectives. Start preparing for the external by looking into other groups' sustainability initiatives (Fair Trade, Pest Control, Sustainable Transport...)
Level Three: Choose to create a sustainability strategy for an organisation of your choice (school, your work, your parent's work..) or start working towards one of the external reports. You have a choice of analysing two sustainability policies or examining two world views.
