Junior Cycle CSPE Curriculum Resources
Challenging Images
| Overview |
The project explores the mediums of photography and art as mediums of expression for young people in general with a special emphasis on those physically challenged. It explores issues such as our role in Europe, ethnicity, tolerance, cultural and social diversity, and the area of physical and learning disabilities. It is activity rich for CSPE, transition year, SPHE and LCAP.
Students can create a photographic and written project based around the idea of giving fellow students here and on mainland Europe a glimpse into their lives and interests. Where they live and what they like to do. Similarly, they have the opportunity to learn about the culture of students in another EU state. The work can be presented by PowerPoint presentation.
