Teachers

My Place, My Space, the Northern Ireland Schools’ Tourism Challenge invites primary school children (9-11 years) to create child focused tourism material for their area.

The core learning content of the website is contained in the three main sections:

Children are encouraged to work their way sequencially through each section to gain a basic understanding of tourism marketing and apply that knowledge to their local area. Each section provides a specially commisssioned video that features our young presenters Sarah and Callum introducing a key learning concept. Each video is accompanied by printable activities that help children to develop this knowledge further.

This project-based resource encourages the use of ICT in the classroom and reflects many aspects of the CCEA ICT Accreditation Scheme, with emphasis on the 5Es - Explore, Express, Exchange, Evaluate and Exhibit
