As well as raising money for Concern Worldwide, children learn about crucial issues such as hunger, fair trade and poverty.

When you register for FoodAid you will get access to the resources section of the FoodAid website containing a wealth of educational materials to help your students explore global food issues.

These include:

• Lesson plans: Each lesson plan is user friendly and has clear links to the citizenship curriculum for key stages 1-2 and give you and your pupils the opportunity to explore various issues surrounding hunger and malnutrition around the world, such as: ‘What is Hunger and Malnutrition?’ and ‘Why are People Hungry?’
