Resources boxes

Growing up Global “Check out China”

Growing up Global “Check out China” is a resource box designed for Early Years teachers and educators to enable them to introduce the children to the wider world. The box is designed to complement the ‘Check out China’ section of the Growing up Global handbook(produced by Reading International Solidarity Centre - RISC). This wonderful book is full of activities designed to engage children as young as 18 months up to 5 years.
In the box you will find:

• RISC's Growing up Global Handbook
• further colour images to use with your children
• some extra activities to extend the theme
• objects and artefacts to help you bring alive the topic
• and some pre-prepared materials to make your life easier!

Artefacts for loan

The particular strength of our artefacts collection is the large variety of African artefacts. While we have traditional artefacts such as the Indian doll from Rajastan on the right we also have items from East Africa that are more representative of every day life - such as the recycled plastic teapot below.

The artefacts are available for loan to Harambee members and a loan of a bag of artefacts is possible for two weeks for a £20 charge.
