A Different World: An Educational Tool Kit for Building Global Justice

The Educational Tool Kit includes two secondary teaching modules designed to help students develop the skills, knowledge, and values necessary to become responsible citizens in an interdependent world.

The Poverty and Basic Human Needs Module explores the themes of nutrition, hunger and food security, health and HIV/AIDS, the environment and water. The Globalization and Trade Module explores the themes of globalization, trade and multinational corporations.

Each module contains learning units that use project-based learning and interactive classroom activities, fact sheets, handouts and resources on global themes. A comprehensive set of student assessment and evaluation tools are also included.

The Educational Tool Kit is intended for Cycle 1 Secondary Social Studies (especially Geography and History and Citizenship) and is tailored to the new Quebec Education Program. However, the publication can be used in secondary schools across Canada.

A Different World: An Educational Tool Kit for Building Global Justice was produced by the Social Justice Committee in collaboration with educational institutions and high school teachers, and with the support of the Government of Canada through the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA). It is published by Learning Materials (LEARN).
