Concern's Online Classroom

Follow us online on Twitter here and @concernactive on Instagram for resource updates and information about student events:

The Sustainable Development Goals are 17 goals set by the United Nations to work towards a more equal world for everyone. This resource collection contains a booklet for each goal along with easily adaptable activities and information to bring the issues alive for your students.

‘Someone Like Me’ is an illustrated children's book that tells the stories of children affected by war, natural disaster and extreme poverty. It’s a great educational resource that allows children to understand global development issues and what life is like for other children around the world. You can now download this for free!

We have also developed new resources to be used alongside the book specifically tailored for senior primary school students. Each folder contains a PowerPoint presentation and an activity sheet.

Some of our most popular resources are now available to download as Gaeilge for the first time.

• SDGs - Now available are our SDG infographic posters, SDG cards and SDG grid poster.
• Duine Mar Mé - Someone Like Me or Duine Mar Mé and the accompanying teachers guide. There are also two accompanying downloadable powerpoints  and worksheets- Bangladesh and Liberia, and each story is read as Gaeilge on the Powerpoints.
• Hunger Heroes – The Hunger Heroes pack has now been translated into Irish for use in primary schools.

The Irish resources can be downloaded below –

The Hunger Heroes is a programme for primary schools focusing on the link between food waste and hunger in the world. The resource pack consists of a series of lesson plans, case studies and classroom activities that have been uniquely tailored for senior primary school students (3rd to 6th class pupils) around the theme of Hunger.

The activities have been designed so that multi-class teachers and teachers of junior primary students will also be able to find activities suitable for their class. There will be a cross-curricular approach in the pack with activity suggestions covering everything from literacy and numeracy to drama and art. Use our Teacher’s Packs to learn more about Hunger, Nutrition, and Development.

We encourage teachers to complete a Hunger Heroes action project or fundraiser with their class in order to deepen awareness and understanding and to become Hunger Heroes!

Our Country Fact Files offer in-depth insights along with timelines and key issues for some of the countries that we operate in. This resource pairs perfectly with the Sustainable Development Goals resource listed previously. 

These infographic posters have been designed for use in the classroom for display purposes and as a teaching aid, full of facts relating to
