In The Poverty Challenge, Christian Aid's latest simulation game, young people take on the role of families from six countries and experience hands-on learning on how sustainable development training can improve their livelihoods.

Playing the game, young people are made aware of our divided world and the importance of finding lasting solutions to help poor countries develop and work their way out of poverty.

The Poverty Challenge enables your class to meet multiple curriculum requirements as they play and provides:

- kinaesthetic learning for a memorable experience

- flexibility - play in one session or several

- cross-curricular links

- minimal preparation time - photocopy material and re-use resources included.

Free online supporting material includes: real-life case studies about people in the featured countries, factsheets on Christian Aid partners, and accompanying photo gallery stories for whiteboard introductions.

Price: £8.99/€13.50 (P423)
