G8 WATCH FOR SCHOOLS

Jubilee Scotland will be running the G8 WATCH FOR SCHOOLS programme in the run-up to the G8 summit in Germany this summer.

2007 could be another big milestone in the fight against poverty. It will be two years since the G8 leaders were called on to Make Poverty History. This year, the G8 Summit is back in the news, and poverty is back on the agenda.

But...

Who exacty are the G8 and what do they do?
What has happened since 2005 and the MAKEPOVERTYHISTORY campaign?
What can we do to influence their decisions?
And does it make any difference anyway?

G8 WATCH FOR SCHOOLS will be answering all these questions, and more.

CLASSROOM ACTIVITY: Calling all young global citizens! The campaign symbol of the G8 will be red balloons. Why not get your students to write a message, in English or German, to the G8 leaders? They can write their message on luggage tags, which we will attach to the red balloons of the G8 rally in Rostock, Germany. All participating schools will receive a follow-up briefing, including photos of their message being taken to the G8.
