Overview
Originally designed to be a companion pack for the Democracy Ambassadors programme, this handy toolkit will support students who would like to share their learning about democracy and a range of other citizenship topics with their peers.
It contains ideas for different kinds of peer-to-peer sharing, examples of what’s been done successfully already, and top tips for making it work and for keeping students safe.
There’s also an Action Plan at the back to help guide students in deciding their next steps.
