Save the Children’s Den Day
Save the Children is calling on UK schools and groups to ‘build a better world’ by taking part in Den Day 2016. Schools and youth groups will be holding their Den Day on Friday 17th June and asking pupils to bring in £2 donations to take part.
Aimed at educating pupils about the issues faced by children around the world who lack secure housing, Den Day will take pupils on an adventure while raising money to give children a safe, warm place to sleep. The campaign provides schools with a creative way to teach global issues whilst inspiring and empowering young people to raise money to help children across the globe.
Schools can sign up at denday.org to access useful resources to help plan a learning adventure that’s as much fun for teachers as it is for pupils. The flexible teaching plans can be shaped to suit pupils of all ages and can contribute to many areas of the curriculum, encouraging creativity and teamwork. Whether schools plan a day with a difference or an overnight stay, it’s sure to be a lesson that students will never forget.
