Document Malala Day Learning with Our Free Learning Story Pack!
 
Malala Day is recognised on 12 July and honours Malala Yousafzai’s courage, voice and advocacy for every child’s right to education. Malala spoke at the United Nations on 12 July 2013, her 16th birthday, sharing a powerful message about education, peace and the right for every child to learn.
Malala Day is a meaningful opportunity to explore courage, fairness, voice, learning, respect, hope and the importance of education in thoughtful and age-appropriate ways within the early learning environment.
 
This free pack has been created to help educators document children’s learning, conversations and discoveries as they take part in experiences inspired by Malala Day.
Capture children’s emerging understandings as they explore having a voice, being brave, valuing learning, listening to others, sharing ideas and recognising that all children deserve opportunities to learn, grow and be heard.
This pack can support educators to record children’s voice, learning and participation as they engage in experiences linked to identity, wellbeing, belonging, communication, fairness, inclusion and community.
