We learnt about sustainability and biophysical environments in term one. Let's move on to people, and taking action for a sustainable future.
This term we spend the first few weeks:
- Revising human rights;
- Looking at some social and environmental issues; and
- Introducing some economic models.
For the rest of term, you will be supported to:
- Plan;
- Implement; and
- Evaluate a personal action for a socially and environmentally sustainable future.
An action could be organising a speaker or a workshop, tree planting, pest trapping, sorting our rubbish, cutting down on packaging at home, writing to your MP, an art installation, a dance, an event, biking to school, ...
You can work on your own or as part of a group. Your actions may run into term three. That's ok. If you have done an action before, you know how this works. If you haven't, and you're feeling nervous. Don't! You will be supported through the whole process, given lots of ideas and shown lots of examples. Give it a go. You will be pleased you did.
Never done EFS before? No problem. There will be a little bit of background study, but no reason why you can't complete this assessment if you want to.
