A Different World
Ten Ready to Use meetings Informing Young People about Global Issues – With CD-rom
by Phil Bowyer
GoodBookStall Review:
We've been using this resource with our youth group in tandem with the Lift the Label materials produced by Tearfund. The sessions would work really well as RE lessons, but need a bit more tweaking if you're going to use them as church youth group sessions. However, they're really informative, dealing with a wide range of issues from climate change to conflict. There is a *lot* of information to sift, and you're unlikely to cover everything in every session, so you need a bit of time to prepare and to be selective: this is definitely not a 'grab it and go' kind of resource. But if you're looking to encourage young people to live as global Christians, instead of sitting comfortably in their Western bubble, then this is a great place to start!
