Lesson Summary
Retired AFL star Adam Goodes is known to many for his resilient journey in the face of detrimental treatment by AFL spectators and the media beginning in 2013.
Prior to this lesson, students will need to complete a survey task about Australian values. The results of the surveys will be used in this lesson to help gain an understanding of what people think are common Australian values and experiences associated with these values. Students will then use the AFL as a case study to explore how a sporting organisation works to promote social cohesion. They will work in small groups to research and present ways in which the AFL is promoting its Corporate Social Responsibility values of ‘progressive, fair, accountable’ within the wider community, particularly in relation to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and cultures.
