Curiosities and Market Connection
Did you know that according to the World Health Organisation (WHO), violence is one of the top causes of death among young people aged 15 to 29 globally? In the job market, professionals like social workers, psychologists, lawyers, and educators play a key role in preventing and responding to violence. They use their expertise to run awareness campaigns, support victims, and formulate effective public policies.
Contextualization
Violence is a longstanding issue in our society, manifesting in various forms such as physical, emotional, moral, sexual, and property violence. These forms of violence impact millions of individuals daily, with serious repercussions in both family settings and the wider community. Understanding these manifestations and their origins is crucial in addressing and mitigating violence.
Initial Activity
Provocative Question: Start the lesson by asking students: 'Have you ever witnessed or heard about a violent situation in your community? How did it impact you or those around you?' Short Video: Show a brief video (3-5 minutes) demonstrating different types of violence and their implications. The video should be thought-provoking and encourage students to reflect.
