• UNICEF Curriculum Resources
  UNICEF provides free curriculum units to educators, which are organized around a particular theme. The theme of the 1997 campaign, "Kids Helping Kids: Working For Our Dreams," focuses on child labor. In addition to helping students become aware of the worldwide child-labor crisis, this year's classroom materials challenge students to think about the world of work in new ways and to raise their awareness of what it means to contribute to one's home and community.

  National UNICEF Month classroom materials are geared for use in grades 1 through 12 and are available in both English and Spanish. We encourage you to incorporate these materials into existing lesson plans or to use them as a springboard for developing your own classroom activities. these lessons and activities offer students an exciting learning opportunity.

  For more information or to receive a classroom packet contact your local UNICEF chapter, or Alex Dye at the UW-Milwaukee Center for International Studies. The Milwaukee chapter also has an extensive collection of UNICEF videos that can be used to supplement the classroom activities and lesson plans.
