Why Choose This Course?
Join us as we dive into the world of Peter Singer, a philosopher who believes that kindness and respect should guide our actions towards all living creatures, including animals and the environment. The course begins with a video introducing Singer’s ideas through the lens of Icelandic farmers who care for their sheep and the world around them. Students will then explore areas in their school and community where kindness can be spread and develop strategies to make a positive impact. Through interactive projects like creating posters and comic strips, students will bring Singer’s ideas to life and learn how to apply them to everyday situations.
