8/3/2019 Global Learning Program - What Would I Do

1/20

Global Learning ProgramGlobal Learning ProgramWhat would I do, if I was a Year 9 student in this

program?


2/20

What do I think reallyWhat do I think really mattersmatters??

Many things really matter to me. But I have

chosen to focus on:


3/20

How does this matterHow does this matter TO METO ME??

y Luckily I have felt safe and secure for pretty

much my whole life.

y But have there been times when I havent felt

safe and secure?

y Well there was that one time when I was on a

week long canoe trip

How does this matter toHow does this matter to MYMY

LOCAL COMMUNITYLOCAL COMMUNITY??y How could I look at safety and security

in my local community?

y Maybe I could look at how safe and

secure people feel in my community.

y And what they feel is the biggest threat to

their safety and secure.

y But how can I find out this information?


6/20

y Perhaps, in a group, my action at a

community level could be:

Creatinga survey that we can conduct

amongst people in our local community. We could ask people in Blackburn Square, at the

Blackburn shops and even at Box Hill.

We would organise what we would say to people

to introduce ourselves:

x Hello, my name is ________. We a conducting a survey on

safety and security in our local community. Would you mind

if I asked you a few questions?

x Thank you very much for your time.


LOCAL COMMUNITYLOCAL COMMUNITY??


7/20

y We could make

questions like this

to ask peopley Of course, the

more people we

survey the better.




8/20

y Then we wouldwrite a report on what

we found out. In it we would discuss:

What our predictions were before we

collected any data.

What the data actually told up (we could

represent the data on graphs or charts)

Conclusions we could draw from the data.x How unsafe to people in our local community

generally feel?

x What do they feel threatens them the most?




9/20

CITYCITY??y How could we look at safety in my city?

y Perhaps we could look one of the most

vulnerable groups on my city: people who

are homeless

y But what can we do about homeless

people? It might be rude to just go survey

them about their situation.y Maybe there are other ways we could find

out about homeless people in Melbourne.


10/20

y There are some forums on the internet

with some pretty compelling stories:


CITYCITY??


11/20

y Perhaps, in a group, our initialaction at a citylevel could be:

Investigate the situation of homeless

people in Melbourne andgather someinteresting stories to share with the restof the class.

Each person in the group could do their own

investigation. Then we could gather it all together to present

(perhaps as a PowerPoint presentation) to theclass.


CITYCITY??


12/20

y Then our other action at a city levelcould be:

Investigate some volunteer work we

might be able to do to help homelesspeople in Melbourne. Thenactually dosome!

The Salvation Army would be a good place to

start looking. Also investigatingThe Big Issue magazine

might be useful.


CITYCITY??


13/20


COUNTRYCOUNTRY??y How could we look at safety and securityat a national level?

y One of the most vulnerable group of people

are the Indigenous Australiansx Indigenous people have a life expectancy roughly 16-17

years less than the overall Australian population.

y One of the biggest problems in an arealike Melbourne is that people simply dontknow much about Indigenous people.

Many have never even met an Indigenous person.


14/20


COUNTRYCOUNTRY??y So our action at anational level could be:Makingadocumentary style short film

informing people about our Indigenous

population. First we would need to do our own research into

Indigenous history and the situation of Indigenous

people now.

x Perhaps the Humanities department has some resources

we could use.

x Generation One is a new and vibrant organisation that is

where we could get some current information from.


15/20


COUNTRYCOUNTRY?? We would gather together and organise allthis information together, so that we can

write a script for our film.

We could then use the Flip cameras or theschools new green screen thing and

Moviemaker to make the film.

We could perhaps show

this film at a school

or house assembly.

LOBALLY?y How could we look at safety and

security globally?

y Well, a burning global issue in our country

at the moment is the matter ofboat

people and refugees.

y Refugees are some of the most vulnerable

people in the world.They are fleeingbecause their safety and security has been

severely compromised.


17/20

y So perhaps our action at aglobal levelcould be:

Raise anddonate some money to the

UNHCR.


GLOBALLY?GLOBALLY?

An organisation that

attempts to look after the

needs of refugees is the

United Nation High

Commission for Refugees

(the UNHCR)


18/20


GLOBALLY?GLOBALLY?y We could perhaps do this by organising a

sausage sizzle at school.

Perhaps we could have

behind our barbeque

some posters with

information aboutrefugees that people

can read as they buy

their sausages.


19/20


GLOBALLY?GLOBALLY?y Some students in the group could take care of

the posters.

y The rest of us could take care of organising the

barbeque.y Once we have finished the sausage sizzle it is a

simple matter to the school to donate the

money we made to the UNHCR.

And, of course,the more we

can raise the

more help we

can provide.
