The independent charity promotes participation of young people through community projects and research for the National Curriculum's citizenship subject. Next week, it is launching a youth work tool called Teaching Active Citizenship, which supports professionals delivering the subject.
Julie Easy, 26-year-old education director of the institute, explains that this training pack manual has been created with the help of young people with special needs. It forms the final result of research involving community participation workshops called ACT!
The programmes took place over the past two years in Luton, Halton, near Liverpool, and Hackney and Tower Hamlets in London. A presentation summarising how they went will take place at the institute's conference on 30 January, along with the launch of the manual. The tool will also go live on the charity's web site, www.citizen.org.uk.
