In this unit, pupils take responsibility for planning and implementing a community event. They work as part of a team, taking on a variety of roles and responsibilities, including aspects of leadership. They learn to respect and value others' opinions and contributions. They consider how the event can make a difference in their school and local community and can provide opportunities for individuals and groups to contribute to social change.
Pupils build on the knowledge, skills and understanding developed through their involvement in school and community events during key stage 3. They increase their levels of responsibility and become less reliant on adults by reflecting critically on their own and others' performance. They consider how social, cultural and religious influences might affect the way in which they organise an event. Resources for running festivals and events, eg TOP Link and Panathlon, can be used in this unit.
This unit provides opportunities to link citizenship with work in key stage 4 physical education (PE), specifically with reference to leadership. The unit may also link with the key skills and the enterprise and entrepreneurial skills described in the national curriculum.
