Many things really matter to me. But I have
chosen to focus on:

y Luckily I have felt safe and secure for pretty
much my whole life.
y But have there been times when I havent felt
safe and secure?
y Well there was that one time when I was on a
week long canoe trip

LOCAL COMMUNITYLOCAL COMMUNITY??y How could I look at safety and security
in my local community?
y Maybe I could look at how safe and
secure people feel in my community.
y And what they feel is the biggest threat to
their safety and secure.
y But how can I find out this information?
8/3/2019 Global Learning Program - What Would I Do
6/20
y Perhaps, in a group, my action at a
community level could be:
Creatinga survey that we can conduct
amongst people in our local community. We could ask people in Blackburn Square, at the
Blackburn shops and even at Box Hill.
We would organise what we would say to people
to introduce ourselves:
x Hello, my name is ________. We a conducting a survey on
safety and security in our local community. Would you mind
if I asked you a few questions?
x Thank you very much for your time.

more people we
survey the better.

y Then we wouldwrite a report on what
we found out. In it we would discuss:
What our predictions were before we
collected any data.
What the data actually told up (we could
represent the data on graphs or charts)
Conclusions we could draw from the data.x How unsafe to people in our local community
generally feel?
x What do they feel threatens them the most?

CITYCITY??y How could we look at safety in my city?
y Perhaps we could look one of the most
vulnerable groups on my city: people who
are homeless
y But what can we do about homeless
people? It might be rude to just go survey
them about their situation.y Maybe there are other ways we could find
out about homeless people in Melbourne.

y There are some forums on the internet
with some pretty compelling stories:

y Perhaps, in a group, our initialaction at a citylevel could be:
Investigate the situation of homeless
people in Melbourne andgather someinteresting stories to share with the restof the class.
Each person in the group could do their own
investigation. Then we could gather it all together to present
(perhaps as a PowerPoint presentation) to theclass.

y Then our other action at a city levelcould be:
Investigate some volunteer work we
might be able to do to help homelesspeople in Melbourne. Thenactually dosome!
The Salvation Army would be a good place to
start looking. Also investigatingThe Big Issue magazine
might be useful.

COUNTRYCOUNTRY??y How could we look at safety and securityat a national level?
y One of the most vulnerable group of people
are the Indigenous Australiansx Indigenous people have a life expectancy roughly 16-17
years less than the overall Australian population.
y One of the biggest problems in an arealike Melbourne is that people simply dontknow much about Indigenous people.
Many have never even met an Indigenous person.

COUNTRYCOUNTRY??y So our action at anational level could be:Makingadocumentary style short film
informing people about our Indigenous
population. First we would need to do our own research into
Indigenous history and the situation of Indigenous
people now.
x Perhaps the Humanities department has some resources
we could use.
x Generation One is a new and vibrant organisation that is
where we could get some current information from.

COUNTRYCOUNTRY?? We would gather together and organise allthis information together, so that we can
write a script for our film.
We could then use the Flip cameras or theschools new green screen thing and
Moviemaker to make the film.
We could perhaps show
this film at a school
or house assembly.

security globally?
y Well, a burning global issue in our country
at the moment is the matter ofboat
people and refugees.
y Refugees are some of the most vulnerable
people in the world.They are fleeingbecause their safety and security has been
severely compromised.

An organisation that
attempts to look after the
needs of refugees is the
United Nation High
Commission for Refugees
(the UNHCR)

How does this matterHow does this matter
GLOBALLY?GLOBALLY?y We could perhaps do this by organising a
sausage sizzle at school.
Perhaps we could have
behind our barbeque
some posters with
information aboutrefugees that people
can read as they buy
their sausages.

How does this matterHow does this matter
GLOBALLY?GLOBALLY?y Some students in the group could take care of
the posters.
y The rest of us could take care of organising the
barbeque.y Once we have finished the sausage sizzle it is a
simple matter to the school to donate the
money we made to the UNHCR.
And, of course,the more we
can raise the
more help we
can provide.
