Speaking for Ourselves uses active-learning techniques to develop geographical knowledge, understanding and skills using activities to investigate and compare a local area with the distant locality of Nairobi. Original source material from young people in Nairobi is used to explore different perceptions of people and places. Participatory activities will also stimulate discussion about gender issues, particularly girls' and boys' perceptions and experiences.

Finding out:

  • about ourselves and where we live
  • what and how we know about other places
  • from people who live in other places
  • using photographs and maps
  • reviewing what we have learned
