This project encourages learners to consider the true meaning of
Christmas and the concept of giving. Learners are given the
opportunity to reflect on two charities' initiatives before
researching or creating their own project for giving to those in
need at Christmas. Learners will create an advertising or
promotional campaign to raise awareness of their initiative. The
project develops enterprising attitudes and skills which enable
learners to become successful learners, confident individuals,
responsible citizens and effective contributors to society.
