Description

Objective: This worksheet aims to raise awareness among students about children's rights violations and their health impacts, and to empower them to advocate for children's well-being.


Content and methods: The worksheet initiates the learning process with an audio report about a boy's life in a country with a problematic children's rights situation, prompting students to share their initial thoughts. It then presents a table detailing various children's rights violations (e.g., child labor, lack of access to education, poor sanitation, malnutrition, overcrowded living conditions, limited access to healthcare, violence and abuse) and their corresponding health impacts. Students are asked to extract specific health impacts and explain connections between violations and health outcomes based on the provided table. The final task requires students to write a respectful and factual letter to the Prime Minister of the boy's home country, expressing their wishes and demands for the children in the country.


Competencies:

  • Listening comprehension
  • Reading comprehension
  • Information extraction and synthesis
  • Critical thinking and reflection on social issues
  • Written communication, specifically formal letter writing
  • Advocacy and civic engagement


Target group: 5th-8th grade


SDGs:

  • 3rd goal (“Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages”): The worksheet outlines how poor sanitation and a lack of clean water cause life-threatening waterborne diseases like cholera, while limited access to healthcare worsens existing health conditions for children.
  • 4th goal (“Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all”): The material explains that a lack of access to education reduces opportunities for mental development and future health literacy, which ultimately leads to poor health choices and conditions later in life.

Understanding Influencer Marketing

This worksheet aims to raise students’ awareness of the mechanisms, economic dimensions, and psychological strategies of modern digital marketing in everyday life.

Content and Methods: The material focuses on the economic significance of social media marketing based on statistical data, as well as the analysis of specific digital posts. Methodologically, the worksheet relies on a combination of practical case studies—in which an exemplary social media post is deconstructed both textually and statistically—and theoretical insights into behavioral economic effects. In addition, the material encourages multi-perspective discussion through reflective writing assignments and the comparison of contrasting stakeholder perspectives. Finally, the discussion of complex issues is used to synthesize what has been learned into the formation of independent judgments.

Competencies:

Analytical and Deconstructive Competence: The ability to systematically examine media content and linguistic and statistical devices for their manipulative or promotional effects

Reflective and Critical Thinking Competence: The ability to critically examine one’s own consumer behavior and evaluate economic phenomena from different perspectives

Media and Economic Competence: Understanding of digital market mechanisms, psychological influence strategies such as the authority bias or the bandwagon effect, and their impact on the economy

Target Audience and Level: 9th/10th grade
