“They look good and the content is user friendly for specialists and non-specialists” Personal Development Coordinator, Hutton Grammar School

“Lots of interesting, user friendly resources – I like the websites, keywords and key words guide” Head of Citizenship, Keswick School

P2P is an innovative development awareness project drawing inspiration from UK, Bulgaria, Hungary and Ghana. It is about enabling and inspiring young people to increase their understanding of the interconnections between EU and developing countries, inform how their actions can support developing countries, create the confidence for them to voice their opinions to decision-makers and focus on changing attitudes towards the Millennium Development Goals.

“High quality, well thought out and connected to the real world” Head of RE & Citizenship, The Hollins School

All UK secondary schools are eligible for a free copy of the P2P Challenge Packs; 'Biodiversity & Poverty' and 'Climate Change & Economy' with 5 lessons in each pack. All are supported by exciting, well designed materials for the Key Stage 3 age group.

“The resources are colourful and eye catching. A range of materials for different abilities” Citizenship Teacher, Hutton Grammar School

All participants will be able to access the P2P website and work towards a School Charter demonstrating young peoples aspirations for their brighter future. All schools will be invited to attend a National Schools Conference on 16th March 2011 to share great ideas with other young people and meet some key decision makers.

Those schools attending the free training sessions will be eligible for some additional support from us in the autumn term, with preparations for planning and delivering this work to help you get the best from the P2P resources.

To sign up for a training session contact CDEC at office@cdec.org.uk

If you are unable to attend the training you can ask for a free copy of the resource and a self help guide.
