These resources are designed to be used in a classroom context and teacher guidance in each section makes specific suggestions to help establish a variety of approaches to teaching and learning. The success of the project will depend on a good variety of engaging activities including:

•	debate and discussion in groups and whole classes
•	presentations
•	research projects
•	use of ICT
•	team work
•	media analysis
•	role play
•	analysis of the media.

Teachers should also be alert to the opportunities such a topic presents for students' own active participation. When specific issues seem to engage students' attention, explore with them what appropriate action they could take. Examples which could arise include:

•	letter writing
•	awareness-raising campaigns
•	contacting the media
•	undertaking local surveys
•	contributing to local/school media
•	joining organisations/campaigns
•	peer education projects.

One of the most interesting examples in our piloting emerged from a school that used a youth worker, employed through a local football organisation, to work with one class of students developing skills and knowledge around the project. These students were then supported as peer educators, sharing their expertise with others and running sessions across their year group. Such an approach enabled the school to make the most of the extra support available and also created an opportunity for a group of students to take some responsibility within the school and be recognised for their active participation.
