Exploring Conflict in Our World
- Click on the image to go to Google Earth (or open Google Earth separately on the IWB).
- Ask the children if they know where there is conflict, violence or war in the world and search for the places they mention (or you can suggest relevant cities or countries).
- Zoom in and briefly discuss the locations and the nature of the conflicts.
Working for Peace
- Tell the children that, though there is conflict, war and violence in many parts of our world, there are also people who have dedicated their lives to working to create peace.
- Show the BTN clip above and briefly discuss any questions or comments.
- Tell the children the clip is from 2013 and that "this is what happened in 2014, the year after the BTN episode was made" (play the clip labelled 'update' in the top right of the BTN clip screen).
