Passport out of Poverty

Teaching children about the different justice issues that impact people around the world is essential for nurturing empathetic and informed global citizens. Sharing stories from diverse cultures, experiences and perspectives helps them develop a deeper understanding and appreciation of our interconnected global community. It also helps children learn to recognise and respect the experiences and challenges faced by others.

Passport out of Poverty is a new resource we have developed to help children aged 7–11 to explore these justice issues and the different areas of our work globally. This interactive session provides a space for children to think about global justice issues in a child-friendly way, shows them how The Salvation Army is responding in different parts of the world, encourages them to reflect on what they can do as part of their church, community or school to make a difference.

The session includes interactive activities, craft and game suggestions, and discussion prompts designed to explore important topics in a fun and age-appropriate way.

The leader’s guide and a set of story posters can be downloaded from our website and printed. The A6 passport, which children can use to make notes, receive a stamp at each story station and take home as a reminder of their journey, can be ordered and sent directly to you. The passport not only enhances the session but also enables children to continue their reflections and add further ideas for how they can take action after the session.
