Activities relating to OWW 2011
Living for One World
The 2011 Living for One World theme is all about encouraging people to value and understand our world and those who live in it. We have developed some activities to help get people thinking about what they can do to make the world fairer and more sustainable.
Many of these resources can also be used to start a discussion on the challenges of climate change that we must address to support those already suffering increased hardship and to secure a better world for future generations. Please click here to go to our Discussion pages to find discussion starters including PowerPoint presentations.
You can download all of these resources for free and use them in your One World Week events, or at brownies, scouts, youth club or in school.

Wordsearches This kind of activity has been used successfully at OWW events like meals to engage people, including adults, in the topic while waiting to be served or between courses. But loads of applications for use with children and youth groups too. Find them on the Quiz page |
