How company and individual behaviour impacts on ethics and the 'Millenium Development Goals'
Aimed at Curriculum for Excellence Level 2 but can be adapted to suit other levels.
Pupils will work together to explore the ‘Millennium Development Goals’, their creation, what they are designed to achieve, and their contribution to the peoples of the world.
Issues of world poverty will be considered in relation to ethical trading. The concepts of fair trade, ethical trading, and the ethical company will be explored, and in particular the influence of individuals and what contribution they can make.
The application of ethical standards will be considered using the school as an example of what represents ethical behaviour in an organisation.
The style of the presentation of the learning will be decided between the teacher and the pupils but must allow the pupils to showcase the impact of the Millennium Development Goals and ethical trading.
