Educate Together is launching a new programme of lesson plans teaching responsible pet ownership to primary school students. This novel education initiative is the first comprehensive animal welfare primary school curriculum to be developed in Ireland. It is supported closely by Dogs Trust, the ISPCA and Veterinary Ireland, who along with Educate Together have made the lesson plans available for all primary school teachers in any school on their respective websites. The programme will also be hugely beneficial for welfare groups to use as part of their humane education programmes. The programme teaches children emotional intelligence with a view to changing the way animals are treated and viewed in the home and society. These unique lesson plans are a collaborative approach with teachers, welfare organisations, veterinary surgeons and industry leaders creating exemplary materials. The learning outcomes will mean children are equipped with the skills to solve problems and make decisions based on critical thinking and evaluations of bias, leading to better treatment and understanding of animals. The lesson plans can be found on our brand new Education website learnwithdogstrust.ie/ :)
