Synopsis

The Rax Active Citizenship Toolkit is the first coursebook solely to address the key skills and processes part of the Citizenship Studies Key Stage 4 curriculum - the only aspects that is statutory in schools in England and Wales. It gives teachers and students the tools for Critical thinking and enquiry, Advocacy and representation; Taking informed and responsible action. Through the use of games and activities, all presented in visually stimulating design, students will improve their confidence and social skills and make meaningful and effective practical work. Most citizenship material is predictable and prescriptive, making students feel they are being dictated to about the issues they should be concerned by. The toolkit takes a different approach, one that is more true to the inspiring aims of the curriculum: it facilitates the development of all the tools students need to form their own opinions about the issues they care about most. The toolkit provides a wide variety of points of view through the Rax interviews: presenter Jon Snow, singer-songwriters Thom Yorke and Ms Dynamite, trade unionist Bob Crow, President of the Supreme Court of the UK Lord Phillips, Patrick Mercer OBE MP (Con), Simon Hughes MP (Lib Dem), Emily Thornberry MP (Lab), Caroline Lucas MEP (Green) and Sir Hugh Orde (President of the Association of Chief Police Officers) and more, all being brought to bear on the central issues of youth engagement in active citizenship.
