*NEW* Training Course: Young People, Justice, Law & Order

This new training day is aimed at practitioners working in targeted or preventative services who want to engage with young people to explore attitudes to justice, democracy and the law in ways that are meaningful and interesting.   

During this interactive workshop, participants will be given a VR resource toolkit packed with ideas to explore personal and cultural values around loyalty, friendship, peer pressure, blame and fairness.  Emphasis will also be placed on finding positive ways to get young people’s voices heard, outside of media-fuelled concerns about youth gangs and crime, so that they believe they can make a difference.

Topics covered throughout the day include exercising the right to peacefully protest, community campaigning and the pros and cons of taking to the streets. The activities devised also invite young people to consider the moral, political and criminal aspects of civil unrest and riots, encouraging a culture of personal and collective responsibility.

This training will:

• Equip participants with a wide range of exclusive social education resources to use with young people

• Discuss the values and attitudes of young people to crime, law breaking and justice
