Education Resource Pack
An Education Resource Pack supports the Campaign. By taking part children in the UK will gain an understanding of some of the causes and effects of conflict, how conflict can be prevented, and how resolution and recovery can be brought about.

Pupils will have the chance to:

•  Develop research skills
•  Develop creative writing skills
•  Develop creative design technology skills
•  Read and compare stories, case studies and factual writing
•  Participate in discussions and critical thinking
•  Develop and express a personal viewpoint.

Reach those in power to help make the changes
By taking part in the campaign, you and the children in your school can also play their own part in helping to change the world for children affected by conflict. By joining the campaign, each school is signing a letter of support to Douglas Alexander, Secretary of State for International Development, and David Miliband, the Foreign Secretary calling for an end to the use of child soldiers and protection for all children from the effects of conflict. First News will ask the UK government to share the views of UK children wherever possible during the next year.

Appear in First News
First News will feature some of the most interesting activities in schools so email us with your stories and tell us how the campaign is going in your school, in particular how the children are benefiting from it.

Win!
Two competitions also form part of the Campaign with a search for a Young Journalist and a Young Designer, winning entries will be printed in First News and there will be an exhibition of work in June next year.
