Workshops for schools and youth groups
These resources provide all you need to deliver workshops to young people. We know they’re effective, because we’ve worked with teachers, youth workers, and, most importantly, young people at every stage of their production.
Each workshop/lesson plan provides one hour of engaging activities for 11 to 16 year olds (with extra activities and information aimed specifically at 14 to 16 year olds). There are worksheets, suggestions for alternative activities and comprehensive but straightforward information. Each has a factsheet which goes alongside it (except Alcohol & You).
