Climate Change Activities KS3 & KS4
Stuck for something to keep your pupils interested after SATs? Our Summer
Week activity Climate Chaos: Exploring the Human Cost of Climate Change is
here to help. Bring this hugely important global issue to life using our
series of lesson plans that are designed to work as a week of
cross-curricular themed activities, but can also be used separately. Aimed
at 9-11 year olds, Climate Chaos investigates the causes of climate change,
the impacts - particularly on those in developing countries, and how young
people's own choices can make a difference.
Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) Competition
Make posters - win prizes! Schools are invited to take part in our MDGs
mid-point poster competition and win books, a poster set, and a visit to
Oxfam HQ in Oxford! Use our great resources about the MDGs to help pupils
design their own posters encouraging world leaders to work harder to meet
the MDG targets to halve poverty by 2015.

Oxfam School Speakers now available! KS2 - 18 Years
Oxfam School Speakers are now available across England to give inspiring workshops and assemblies on the struggle against global poverty.
Speakers are fully trained to help pupils aged 8 to 18 explore a range of issues that affect their lives – including poverty, health and education – as well as the work of Oxfam and the ways they can take action to make a positive difference in the world.
Based on Oxfam’s high quality education resources, these engaging sessions bring to life the global issues that really matter to young people. Every school that books a session will receive a copy of Oxfam’s highly successful Change the World in Eight Steps poster pack, full of ready-to-use activities for follow-up work. Speakers can also advise teachers on resources and support for taking the next step in their Global Citizenship work.
Teachers can request a School Speaker via Oxfam’s website for teachers at
