News for January 2004
School education starts at Hockerton Housing Project
Sustainability
in Practice is a comprehensive educational experience for young
people to learn about the problems of sustainability and discover some
of the solutions. The 'problem solvers' are typically in Years 5 and 6.
In small groups of 10, they explore different topics; Water, Shelter,
Energy, Waste, Food, Bio-diversity plus a mapping exercise done by all
the 'problem-solvers'. A half-day visit is sufficient to cover three of
these topics and an associated mapping exercise.
All
activities take place at the HHP site with all necessary resources
provided. A guide ('Sustainability in Practice' Resource Pack) is being
developed to provide teachers with a summary of all the activities and
how they link to National Curriculum (currently Key Stage 2 only). This
is also designed for use at pre- and post-visit in-school sessions.
Members from the Hockerton Housing Project can also visit the
school to prepare 'problem solvers' for their task!
We
aim to make a visit to the Hockerton Housing project, using the
'Sustainability in Practice' Resource Pack, an educational experience
for young people (and of course their teacher’s) which is unique, fun,
exciting, developmental and even life changing!
For
further details please contact Nick White or Louise Lipman
