Each month we will be sharing a lesson plan and activity linked to our programmes and focus for the month aligned to significant days, like Earth Day.
This gives an opportunity for teachers to engage with the day even if they cannot do so on the specific day as these issues are global and year-round. We will be housing all our featured lessons here.
