BPEC WINTER APPEAL

We will celebrate our 30th Anniversary in 2012 - help us build on our achievements!

 

As public services face the most drastic cuts for a generation, BPEC is facing up to the loss of key grant funding, we therefore need to raise £30,000 to avoid cuts to our staffing and services.
  • £20 – Will pay for one months worth of expenses for our lovely volunteers
  • £50 helps us train a teacher in global education. This teacher can share this knowledge with over 30 children in every class they teach from then on
  • £200 – Will pay for the reprinting of our Information Sheets
  • £600 – Will pay for one day of Global Education training in a school

Nuclear Power - Not the answer to Climate Change
cnd

The Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) are currently campaigning by saying No to Nuclear Power.Goverment spin doctors and the nuclear industry myth makers are working overtime repackaging nuclear power as a 'green' solution to climate change,But nuclear power is no fix,it's not quick and its not worth the risk.

Nuclear power is not the answer - it is not carbon-free. The whole nuclear cycle from uranium mining onwards produces more greenhouse gases than most renewable energy sources, with up to 50% more emissions than wind power. Doubling nuclear power in the UK would only reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 8% and this would come too late as each power station takes at least ten years to be up and running.

School Shows Support to Worldwide Prisoners of Conscience

child-writing-5Fairlight Primary School borrowed posters, maps and peace related resources from the Brighton Peace and Environment Centre to contribute to their Festival of ‘Learning and Peace’ art project in June. Prisoners of conscience locked up by military regimes around the world will now receive letters and pictures from hundreds of Sussex youngsters.

The young people created sculptures and art work based around their own interpretations of peace and displayed them in their peace and tranquility garden at the school, as well as at Amnesty International's 50th Birthday Celebration at West Hill Community Centre on 18th June.

Supporting Brighton University Trainee Teachers

trainee_teachers_workBPEC’s school team has worked closely with lecturers and students from the BA in Primary Education at the University of Brighton to incorporate international education and global citizenship in their courses and to explore the benefits these topics can make to the primary school curriculum.

This term they gave some most thoughtful, innovative presentations and the thinking, sensitivity and consideration which went into the work was a joy to see.” - Kevin Fossey (Senior Lecturer, University of Brighton)
