Turkish elections: what motivated voters?
Who is responsible for making sure people get unbiased information during elections? The voter? The candidates? Or the media?
Special Editions explore one issue in the news, in-depth. They consist of several lessons and culminate in a final piece of work produced by each student.
From fickle facts to data decisions, our latest Special Edition investigates why numbers in the news are important and how numeracy can be used to make sense of the world.
January 22nd – March 25th 2024
The Festival brings Topical Talk lessons to life by giving students the chance to discuss what they’re learning about in the classroom on a global scale. Young people are invited to learn from, and exchange ideas with, a host of international peers and topic experts. Each festival is packed with inspiring activities, online events and awards for thoughtful conversations and ideas.

Every week, new and interesting resources are produced, all of which go hand-in-hand with relevant and appropriate termly topics. These are accessible to all learners: they are bespoke, carefully thought-out and allow students to improve across a number of key skills.”
