The Crawford Fund launched these free project-based high school learning materials to excite educators and students to the impact of work around global food and nutrition security and the broad range of career pathways to involvement.
We have no doubt that involving young Australians in international agriculture and agriculture for development has meaningful and beneficial outcomes for food and nutrition security, for the students and for Australian agriculture.
The event is being kindly hosted by the Home Economics Institute of Australia. As the peak professional body for home economics professionals in Australia, HEIA represents the interests of home economists working in education, industry, community services, public health, consumer affairs, and family and household management.
After this introduction to the teaching materials, we will be offering a professional development workshop on the materials too!
By providing students with real life examples of Food and Nutrition Security in our region, young people are encouraged to initiate discussion, explore topics and act to develop a better future. The modules have been linked to the Australian National Curriculum across the curriculum areas of Design and Technologies, Geography, Media Arts, English, Science, and Mathematics. The cross-curriculum priorities of Asia and Australia’s Engagement with Asia and Sustainability are also noted within the modules.
