Talking about poverty at school \u2013 new activities for Challenge Poverty Week<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Do you know of any schools looking for something great to do this Challenge Poverty Week (7-13 October)<\/strong>?<\/p>\n

We have a brand-new set of Cost of the School Day activities designed to get school communities thinking and talking about poverty <\/a>. Your help to share them with the schools and teachers you work with would be really appreciated.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Why we want to get everyone talking about poverty<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last year, over 5000 children and young people shared their views in the Cost of the School Day Big Question<\/a>. They said that it\u2019s important we talk more about poverty to help remove stigma and raise awareness of help that\u2019s available at school – so that\u2019s what we\u2019re doing this Challenge Poverty Week.<\/p>\n

Activities <\/strong><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve got four Talking about Poverty activities to try out<\/a>. Each activity works well on its own or as part of a set.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Talking to politicians and the government<\/strong> Work together to come up with a question or something you would like to tell politicians and the people in charge of education \u2013 we\u2019ll pass everything along.<\/li>\n
  2. Talking to each other about costs at school <\/strong>Find out what other pupils in your school think about school costs and the help people can get with them. What are things like, and what could be better?<\/li>\n
  3. Talking to your headteacher <\/strong>Interview your headteacher to find out what your school is doing to challenge poverty, then work together to come up with a Cost of the School Day pledge for your school!<\/li>\n
  4. Talking to your school community <\/strong>Create some eye-catching posters to help everyone in your school community understand what support is on offer and how to access it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    All of these Challenge Poverty Week activities can be found on our website<\/a> \u2013 please share this email throughout your networks.<\/p>\n
