Communities & Change

‘Communities & Change’ aims to enable children to learn about the Punjab as a place and about the people who live there. The activities have been designed by teachers to support children’s investigation of issues that we have in common with this locality. The stimulus of images from the Punjab provides a different starting point for thinking about questions and issues that affect our own daily lives. The approaches support the challenging of our own stereotypes and assumptions and enable children to learn as much about themselves and their own communities as they do about this distant locality.
