To think systematically about the issue of hunger, ask students to explore the figures here.

Ask them to research the background of a figure that interests them relating to hunger. And present their findings to the rest of the group. 

Game-example: Play Stardew Valley

They’ve inherited their grandfather’s old farm plot in Stardew Valley. They can learn to live off the land and turn these overgrown fields into a thriving home.

Students work in groups to research and analyse, using data, different area’s around the world/in their country/region with different wealth/ poverty levels.

Discuss, using multi-perspective background (e.g. social, political, economic, cultural and ecological) as input, possible causes of these differences. 

Analyse connections between these perspectives.

Write up the report and use it as a starting point for discussions with local authorities, social workers and cultural leaders about the situation in the school’s neighbourhood: do they recognize the team output and in what way are they working on improvement, against the background of the targets and indicators of SDG1?

Seek contact with a school in a different social area and work on an exchange of ideas and people; and seek how these schools can support each other.
