Key questions and topics raised by the project.
Above: Key questions and topics raised by the project.

Schools have a duty to promote community cohesion - 'Who Do We Think We Are?' activities and lessons can help to support that duty by exploring the development of identities and learning to understand and appreciate diversity.

WDWTWA activities and modules will help subjects to meet their own National Curriculum needs and allows for young people to increase their understanding and knowledge.

WDWTWA is there to enable young people to explore their own identity and the diversity of those around them whatever their background. It is a contributer to ensuring Every Child Matters.

A central part of the National Curriculum is to create responsible citizens who contribute to society - WDWTWA activities support and encourage young people to enquire, engage and participate - all the things a responsible citizen needs to be able to do to contribute.

WDWTWA enables young people to enquire about their own different identities, views and attitudes, in turn they will find out about those of others. By allowing exploration, debate and discussion in a safe environment schools can contribute towards community cohesion.

Many schools are getting involved in projects this week, if you are one of them and would like to share the work you have done, please send a response via the WDWTWA Blog (Have Your Say) or email wdwtwa@rgs.org.
