They are grouped under four page headings:
We have tried to ensure that the content is suitable and the language accessible.
Global challenges
The films illustrate challenges facing the global community and encourage the discussion of wider social issues. The resources can be used by schools wishing to promote cross curricular collaboration since there are links to Science, Geography, Maths, RE, English and ICT.
Our aim is to provide authentic sources which will be engaging for students. We would also like to raise awareness of MSF’s work in the field and show young people the circumstances and challenges faced by their contemporaries in the wider world.
Learning resources
They are also appropriate for students studying upper tier GCSE, IGCSE and the International Baccalaureate.
If teachers themselves wish to add an exercise in English, Welsh or Irish it would be an opportunity to generate assessed evidence for the Key Skill of communication.
Indeed we hope they will also be of benefit to anyone at intermediate level and above who wishes to improve their French.
