Resources

Here are a selection of useful resources.

Step-by-step guides - for 6-12 week projects

Our step by step guides are designed to help groups of young people, with support from our Volunteer Facilitators, to turn their ideas for making a difference into reality. We hope they are also of use for teachers or youth workers who want to support their young people to run their own projects.

Arranging an event

Creating art for an exhibition

Making a film

Organising a campaign

Producing a publication

How To guides - for shorter term projects

Our How To guides support young people to take simple but effective actions to make a difference. We hope these are actions that young people can take individually on their own initiative - teachers or youth workers may also wish to use these resources to support young people to take these actions.

How to run your own poster campaign and petition

How to succeed at public speaking and presentations

How to lobby your Councillor, MP or MEP

How to organise a fundraising and awareness-raising event

It was really good to see how the young people picked up skills and how the quiet ones slowly came out of their 'shell' to open up and participate.
