Magic of UU (Grades 5-8)

Social Action & UU Values with a Dash of Magic for Middle Schoolers

Learn how to conjure a better world through social action!

Many kiddos are drawn to the idea of wizardry to learn to take control of, and alter, the world around them. They also have developed a strong sense of justice and wish to make the world a better place.

The Magic of UU marries these two ideas in a fun wizarding curriculum that focuses on social justice and social action.  While enjoying wizarding activities, children also work on real-world social action projects, chosen to be both relevant and meaningful to them. They will be able to participate in the magic of making the world a better place.

We will spend three to four classes on each social justice issue, with one class devoted entirely to social action. The goal is to produce tangible results on real-world problems.

Some of the social justice issues we will explore are:

• Illiteracy
• Hunger
• Poverty
• Hatred
• Fair Trade and Child Labor
• Child Sickness
• Animal Cruelty
• The Environment
