About the Event
How do we measure economic inequality in Canada? Why does it matter? What causes it? These important questions are addressed in this workshop. In these lessons you will examine the differences between poverty, inequality, mobility, income and wealth. With clear definitions, up-to date resources and easy-to implement activities, you will enter your classroom with a clear understanding of what is meant by “rich” and “poor” in Canada and around the world.
This workshop will cover a selection of the lessons included in the eight-part lesson plan set that you will be able to take home with you to facilitate with your class. During this in-person presentation, you will be able to engage in live activities and discussions with your colleagues and the workshop facilitator. The lesson plan set will be available in both a physical booklet as well as online, downloadable files.
