Consequently, I'd like to quit my job and become a painter. I'll decide my days off and my working hours. roberdess https://padlet.com/roberdess/qsqpdycoys0s/wish/159497273

You can use this activity or create a similar activity to bring their attention to situations where our actions have a durable effect on nature, society and economy.You can explore other activity created by the Fairtrade Foundation here. roberdess https://padlet.com/roberdess/qsqpdycoys0s/wish/159497776 2017-03-12 14:40:14 UTC https://padlet.com/roberdess/qsqpdycoys0s/wish/159497776 Roberta D.I'll ask my students how can they prevent bullying in their class and in the whole school.Moreover, how can they behave correctly and show respect to other students and the staff members. roberdess https://padlet.com/roberdess/qsqpdycoys0s/wish/159497854 2017-03-12 14:41:15 UTC https://padlet.com/roberdess/qsqpdycoys0s/wish/159497854 Ethical behaviourSolving real –life dilemmas in class is a good way to introduce your students to ethical thinking. The topics could be inspired by situations that children and young people can closely relate to.Example of a real-life dilemma: ‘Lea has been offered something she really wants. Unfortunately, it's terribly unfair to a lot of other people and she knows it. Should she allow herself to benefit from an unfair situation?’Real-life dilemmas help students to see the different nuances of the meaning of acting responsibly, which is a relevant competence not only related to entrepreneurship. You can explore many other scenarios at the Daily Dilemma Archive. Sustainable thinkingWhat entrepreneurs should always have in mind is that what they do today will have an impact on theirs and everyone’s tomorrow. This entails thinking what consequences an action might have on the community, environment, economy and society as a whole.Fair trade is a good example of a topic, which you can tackle in the classroom. By learning more about fair trade, students in both primary and secondary education can learn more about the relationships between farmers, businesses and consumers and how we can produce food in a sustainable way. roberdess https://padlet.com/roberdess/qsqpdycoys0s/wish/159497928 2017-03-12 14:42:09 UTC https://padlet.com/roberdess/qsqpdycoys0s/wish/159497928 These competences are about idea generation, about analysing your ideas and the ones of others, about seeing an opportunity where others might see barriers, about imagining and envisioning things that do not exist (yet), and about thinking in ethical and sustainable terms.The table below shows how these are described in the framework.Areas Competences Hints Ideas and opportunities Spotting opportunities Use your imagination and abilities to identify opportunities for creating value Creativity Develop creative and purposeful ideas Vision Work towards your vision of the future Valuing ideas Make the most of ideas and opportunities Ethical and sustainable thinking Assess the consequences and impact of ideas, opportunities and actions roberdess https://padlet.com/roberdess/qsqpdycoys0s/wish/159497965 Areas | Competences | Hints
