The purpose of the handbook is to:

  • Provide teachers with a selection of relevant and accessible in-classroom and out-of-classroom educational resources (summaries of short activities, lessons, units) that aim to instil the principles of the RoL among secondary school students.
  • Assist teachers in applying the teaching resources to their local educational settings by providing ideas for adaptation for a variety of learning environments.
