Sec Values - Stewardship & Responsibility 3 Enaney

Teacher notes

This lesson introduces Enaney, a tour guide in Awra Amba - a small village in Northern Ethiopia who, despite being affected by famine, rejected food aid and built their own businesses. This story looks at the theme of responsibility (and, to a lesser extent, stewardship) from a very different angle. The focus of this lesson is on reflecting upon responsibility and active citizenship at a local, national and global level. You could also use this lesson to explore themes such as: self-sufficiency, resilience, problem solving and entrepreneurship. This is the third lesson in the Stewardship and Responsibility unit of the Secondary Year of Values programme: **About this unit:** This unit explores the values of stewardship and responsibility through a carefully sequenced set of human stories from different global contexts. The unit supports students to examine how responsibility can take many forms depending on context, scale, power and perspective. Across the six lessons, students encounter responsibility as global environmental action, moral accountability, community resilience, everyday choice, scientific inquiry and long-term care. The sequence moves from visible, large-scale action towards quieter, less obvious forms of stewardship that rely on evidence, patience and sustained attention. By the end of the unit, students are encouraged to think critically about responsibility not as guilt or blame, but as an ongoing process of noticing, questioning and responding - locally, nationally and globally. **Curriculum Links:** Citizenship (KS3) The ways in which citizens work together to improve their communities.
