KS2 Education for Social Responsibility: preparing children for the world they will inherit.
Education for Social Responsibility is a KS2 citizenship and environmentalism curriculum, packed with learning and information all about economic wellbeing, how to be ethical consumers, tackle climate change and reduce waste.
Our Education for Social Responsibility (ESR) curriculum for KS2 builds on children's growing understanding of the world around them and addresses many issues which concern children at this age. Schemes of work include learning about climate change, the finite resources we all rely upon for the production of goods and energy, the harm caused by mass consumption of cheap goods made with cheap labour, what we can do to make the world a better place, and how we can all live kinder, happier, healthier lives.
