1. Are you a teacher/ professional working with young people? ...Our educational resource packs could make your life easier.

Studies show that our packs can change attitudes AND improve grades. Each pack uses a range of media to address social issues affecting young people. Filled with engaging activities and assessments, the packs can be used in schools and youth centres alike.
N.B. All packs are mapped to the national curriculum and can be used without detracting from the timetable.

This is a peer led approach to education. Young people produce posters, leaflets and advertising campaigns, all targeted at other young people in their area. Current projects address underage drinking and inter-generational perceptions.
