Instructions
The young people should work in groups of approximately five. Distribute a selection of 'could you do this' cards to each group. Ask each group to sort the cards into three piles; Yes – I could do that in my community, No – I couldn’t do that in my community and Not sure. Encourage them to share their thoughts. Share your own thought with the class and suggest other ideas on how they can improve their community.
Ask the young people to write a list of the challenges relating to running a citizenship activity, and another list of how they could overcome these challenges.
