Outline of Learning experience:
Post Covid class. Students will be giving multiple scenarios and will have to include what the consequences of each scenario could be. This will be done in a walking debate format. E.g. All students would be seated and a question would be posed to them . e.g. There is an increase in unemployment in Ireland and the government has to choose how to spend their money and the students have to walk to whatever situation they think the government would choose. e.g. cut education funding and predict what they think the consequences of this action would be. This is repeated with individual and business choices as well.

Outline of learning experience: Split class into two groups: employees and employers. Give employers group suggestions of ethical responsibilities for their employees, eg not share company secrets, treat colleagues fairly. For every responsibility the employees agree to, they can make their employer agree to an ethical responsibility, eg pay at least minimum wage, grant statutory time off, ensure all employees are treated equally. By putting the students against each other, the difference between the two sides should be very clear.]]> 2021-02-08 10:50:24 UTC https://padlet.com/jct2/2pxhhs3yf7i2yqvm/wish/1176215582 https://padlet.com/jct2/2pxhhs3yf7i2yqvm/wish/1176215853 Learning Intention: Students will be able differentiate between the different elements within the world of work and without solely focusing on money as the reward.
