Students participating in the 40 Hour Famine, New Zealand’s biggest youth event, can gain NCEA credits while helping people affected by the global refugee crisis.

Crossing Borders supports teachers as they teach and assess Achievement standard 91042 Report on personal involvement in a social justice and human rights action (Social studies 1.4) and work with students participating in the 40 Hour Famine.

The student worksheets and information sheets unpack the achievement standard and help students gain a deeper understanding of the issues faced by people who cross borders as refugees, with a focus on refugees from Syria. This resource also includes a teaching sequence with ready-to-use assessment materials that include a task and assessment schedule. Facts and statistics throughout the resource have been updated for 2017 – ensure you have the latest version dated December 2017.

Use this versatile resource to help Year 11 and Year 10 Social Studies classes or other groups of students make the most of their 40 Hour Famine experience.
