Kids Who Care

Free education resources available on CD-ROM

Plan’s child-centred programs in West Africa are brought to life for Australian primary school students through Kids Who Care - a package of creative educational resources available for free on CD-ROM.

The package includes the following resources designed to promote critical thinking and cooperation, and encourage students to think of themselves as part of a global community.

Kids Who Care video

Filmed in Togo and Senegal, the 23-minute Kids Who Care video covers issues such as the importance of clean water for health, the Rights of the Child, community cooperation and the ways in which environmental issues around the world are connected.

Teacher's Guide

The Kids Who Care Teacher’s Guide is divided into four sections (Community, Child Rights, Water and Education), each of which can stand on its own or be used as a study unit. However, many themes overlap, so it is worthwhile to combine various sections to maximize students’ learning.

Student Action Guide

In many schools and communities, young people are leading the way with projects to raise awareness and increase support for international and environmental projects. The Kids Who Care Action Guide provides step-by-step suggestions for activities students can plan and initiate themselves. The guide also features examples of youth-led projects from around the world.

Young people are encouraged to learn from one another and find ways of sharing stories of successful projects.
