Become a Hunger Hero

Our Hunger Heroes programme focuses on the second UN Sustainable Development Goal, tackling hunger. It consists of a series of lesson plans, case studies and classroom activities that have been uniquely tailored for senior primary school students (KS2) around the themes of food wastage and climate change.

• When you sign up, we will send you out you very own Hunger Heroes pack, which includes a 12 page booklet with interactive lesson plans, country fact files, stickers, and everything you need to teach your class about climate change, food wastage and world hunger.
• Raise vital funds for families living in extreme poverty by holding a Hunger Hero fundraiser on World Food Day, and join with us in the fight against world hunger.
• Each student who raises money will receive a certificate declaring them a Hunger Hero! Each school that participates will receive a certificate declaring them a Super School!
• Develop your class’s numeracy, literacy and critical thinking skills by utilising our interactive resources.
• You will have an opportunity to learn about Concern Worldwide’s lifesaving work around the globe, and how we support the world’s poorest.
• It is specifically tailored to the Northern Ireland curriculum, looking at ‘the world around us’, strands 1-4.

We are asking schools to take direct action in hunger by taking part in our Hunger Heroes programme on World Food Day (October 15, 2021). It’s a fantastic opportunity to fundraise for the world’s poorest people while learning about these incredibly important global issues.

Remember: every challenge undertaken, every cake sold and every penny donated takes us one step closer to ending extreme poverty.
