what  can  we  learn  from  the stories we  have  heard?

In this unit, we've learned about some of the methods of active citizenship. The stories about the Lift the Ban campaign and the Black Lives Matter movement show how people have used creative methods and how they tried to educate others about the need for things to change. The stories also show that it's important to have clear aims and use lots of methods to try and persuade others to support your cause.
