Red Cross Positive Images Toolkit

The Red Cross’s Positive Images toolkit is an educational resource for teachers, youth workers and other educators to teach young people about migration and development and by using the toolkit, educators can help young people relate issues of migration and development to themselves and their communities, and empower them to take action. Having been available since 2009, the toolkit has now been revised and can be downloaded for free here:

Youth arts can broadly be defined as young people taking part voluntarily in creative, cultural or expressive activity outside of the formal education process. It can encompass participation and appreciation, as well as engagement with arts work specifically created by, with or for young people.
