To the oppressed, and to those who suffer with them and fight at their side (Paulo Freire, 1970)
This page contains selected online resources to facilitate your PACT anti-poverty learning and activities, pupil support, and research. They are intended to be reflective of the recurring topics and themes throughout the PACT PL Programme, and so are meant to supplement/extend the materials in the PL sessions and in the Module Resource Packs.
We strongly recommend that you start your resource journey through the session materials in the Module Resource Packs INSERT LINK TO PAGE PLEASE, as they are designed to support the underlying aims of the learning, and provide a staged narrative progression towards deepening and widening knowledge and understanding on poverty. Those are not all included here – so please do check out the Packs.
The Human Rights-Based Approach (HRBA) pages on the site complement these also, and provide a preliminary basis for the HRE section on this page. Please also refer to the detailed poverty-related Human Rights information throughout the PL Programme – in both the Modules and the Packs.
As the resources in this section are drawn from a very wide PACT research database, they reflect a subjective decision as to what may be useful, of interest, and /or worthy of debate. The list is not intended to be exhaustive, and we welcome your suggestions and additions.
Support-related themes are highlighted in green – these link to specific information that may be of interest to teachers and other education professionals supporting young people and their families who are living in poverty, and/or links to organisations offering support. Resources for/on ‘Groups’ are for those groups who have been identified to be disproportionately more likely to be living in poverty, or whose suddenly changed circumstances may adversely and seriously affect their financial situation. (See, e.g. http://www.healthscotland.scot/population-groups/children/child-poverty/child-poverty-overview/priority-groups-affected-by-child-poverty )
These are very roughly grouped under several headings: please click on the heading to take you to the details of where the resources can be found online. Many headings will overlap, e.g. although there is a section on ‘classroom activities’, many of the other resources provide factual information or reflections that may be suitable for discussion in the classroom, or indeed, with colleagues. Therefore we encourage you to have a look through the headings, if you do have the time, so that you know what’s available here. (We understand that finding enough time, however, is not always easy or possible.)
