What is a Challenge?

Cambridge Lower Secondary Global Perspectives is taught through a series of Challenges. The Challenges are a set of teaching and learning materials that use topics to provide stimulating contexts for the development of specific skills and learning objectives.

Challenges include suggested activities that require learners to analyse, collaborate, communicate, evaluate, reflect or research. Activities are designed to encourage learners to consider and connect personal, local and global perspectives related to an issue.

Activities in the Challenges are designed to encourage active learning. Read about Active Learning as a classroom approach in our Education brief here.
