anti-poverty week-QTU

Teacher Solidarity for the improvement of education

Anti-Poverty Week aims to raise awareness about the causes and consequences of poverty around the world and in Australia, and to encourage action to address it.

Involving children and young people through school activities is an essential part of Anti-Poverty Week, and as many schools as possible are encouraged to do something during the Week, however small.

The Week focuses on poverty around the world, especially in the poorest countries but also in wealthier countries such as Australia. Its main aims are to:

* strengthen public understanding of the causes and consequences of poverty and hardship around the world and within Australia;
* encourage research, discussion and action to address these problems, including action by individuals, communities, organisations and governments. Learn More
