Created by experienced teachers and world-leading journalists at The Economist, Topical Talk PSHE resources combine deep educational knowledge with world-class journalistic expertise.
Our PSHE lessons cover specific criteria within the PSHE Association's Programme of Study for Key Stage 2-4:
Living in the wider world
Our resources help students discuss and debate topical issues, developing their knowledge of national and international problems and events that affect them and others. They help students express their thoughts and opinions in an appropriate way and encourage them to support their own views with reasoning.
Relationships education
A focus on listening encourages students to see and respect others' points of view before making their own judgments. Activities support students to be sceptical about media stories and value the importance of evidence. This enables them to recognise and challenge stereotypes.
