Something should be done about….
Split into pairs. Each pair has 2 minutes to find 5 basic details about the other e.g name, where they live, which year they're in at school, a favourite pastime and one issue they think something should be done about.
Each player then presents his/her partner to the rest of the group.

Lobbying
In pairs -
Person a) is a young person who wants to raise an important issue.
Person b) is a very busy member of staff late for a meeting.

The aim is for person a) to get their issue heard by trying out a number of strategies and finding out which ones have proved successful.

The Meeting
The young person is now granted a 2minute meeting to discuss their issue with the member of staff. What are the most effective strategies for getting yourself heard in a short meeting?
