The book is divided into three main chapters - Starting up, Preparation and Taking action. Each chapter contains case studies, methods of working, activity sheets and information. The chapters are well written, easy to read and conveniently laid out, with the activity sheets and case studies in the methods sections providing ideas on how to use the information given out.
The appendices give information about democratic structures, the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and signposting to other sources of help. The manual also includes a "jargon-buster" - helpful for any project.
This manual is a comprehensive and easy-to-read guide to community involvement by and with young people. This is a wide subject and it is pleasant to find a resource that is broad enough to encompass many different kinds of project, but specific enough to be immediately useful and practical.
