More Power to Youth - A Resource for Youth Workers on Global Power and Justice 2007

The theme of this resource is Power and Justice. The theme explores what power is, who has power and how power is used negatively and positively at a local and global level. It examines justice issues from a power perspective and shows how young people can and do use power positively. This resource is divided into four sections. Section one, Understanding Power, introduces the concept of power, who has it and what it is used for. Section two, Power and Justice, examines the positive and negative uses of power, highlighting particular justice issues such as trade, debt, climate change and child labour. Section three, Walls of Power, explores how walls and barriers affect power, with a particular focus on Israel and Palestine, Northern Ireland and on invisible walls that disempower young people. Finally, section four, Our Power, highlights how people can be empowered and use their power
to promote justice and equality locally and globally.
