Build the Change

The Day and the LEGO Group’s Build the Change social impact programme are working together to engage 7-14 year olds in sustainability issues in the news. Through our resources, children take on real-world challenges, develop life skills through play and learn to voice their ideas for a better future.

The resources were excellent for critical thinking, engagement with current affairs, and also speaking and listening skills. Children were ‘building on’ and challenging each other’s ideas and as a result, discussions were really rich
