About This Lesson
People Power is a multi-media resource that fosters student exploration of how engaged citizens change the world. All six sections are common-core connected and also available on www.civicvoicesforpeace.com.
Section 6 promotes reflection on what young people can do to make a difference. First, students will watch a short video on student activism in Burma, China, Iran, South Africa and the United States and assess the contributions of youth to advancing rights and freedoms. Then they will hear some advice from activists from around the world and develop their own plans for civic engagement.
