Abstract To encourage young people to manage the planet wisely, we have to give them the means to become agents of change. FAO’s Forests for kids teaching and learning guides, released in July 2017, are part of an FAO initiative to inspire and engage young people, in this case 8-13 year-olds. Forests are an essential part of our environment and the Forests for kids modules shed light on a variety of wooded areas, from the field or park next door to the world’s major forests. They examine forests’ role in the water cycle, reveal their presence in the medicines, foods and objects of daily life, and challenge received wisdom about ownership and management. Perspectives – and curricular entry points – range from geographic to scientific to social, and call on analytical, decision-making, research and interpersonal skills.
