Justice - can we really change the world?
The August Youthwork magazine was all about Justice – and asked the question can young people really change the world? I've recently realised that we're living in a time where changing the world is more possible than ever, that for the first time in history we have the technology, resources and know-how to get rid of extreme poverty, we just need to give our young people opportunities to grasp. So here's one for you….
Anger Management?
I wanted to share with you some of the thinking behind the change in direction of the 'Anger Management' groups we facilitate. For many years we have run anger management groups in Luton's secondary schools, but recently have begun to question the effectiveness of such groups. Read on for some background and an introduction to the form the new groups are going to take.

I need help with preparing a prefect and mentoring training session for students aged 16+ in a secondary school...
Thank God for teachers
Here's some encouragement for Christians in schools: A few years ago Andrea Smith (Scripture Union schools worker based in Reading) sent me this and it's been an encouragement to many.

Have a GREAT week - term - year ahead.

Singing in schools
Looking for input from music and storytelling facilitators.
Jesus and Music
Part of the R.E syllabus is to see how Jesus is portrayed through art. I decided to do a lesson through the art medium of Music. The lesson uses various types of music and really gets the young people thinking and discussing how people view and describe Jesus.
