A Different World

This site is a companion to the book A Different World: An Educational Tool Kit for Building Global Justice, designed for Quebec secondary classrooms but useful in schools across Canada and beyond.

How to Navigate this Site

Content for the on-line version of the Tool Kit has been adapted for presentation on this site. Teachers will find lots of ready-to-use learning units, fact sheets and handouts in the Poverty & Basic Human Needs Module and Globalization & Trade Module.

There are also resources on how to complete the Learning Tree Storyboard Project and the Magazine Radio Show Project as part of a teaching module. There are more resources in the Links and Photo Galleries sections.

Not all the content from the book is currently on-line but there are two NEW learning units that are available exclusively on this site: Poverty & Basic Education, Migration, Trade & Human Rights.

We hope teachers and students find this site to be a useful tool in the classroom. Please send us your feedback and feel free to participate in the Teacher Forum to find out how other teachers are using the material.

There is also a section Just for Students. Students can also participate in their own Forum to post their completed school projects or to share information.

If you're old-school, there are lots of documents you can download on this site. Or, you may want to order the print version of the Tool Kit.

Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing.

Fast Fact: Poverty

Half the world - nearly three billion people - lives on less than two dollars a day.

Fast Fact: Migration

While 60% of migrants live in the most developed countries, 40% live in less developed countries. (Millenium Development Report)
