Key learning points
- When carrying out active citizenship, create a clear action plan: outline detailed steps with agreed deadlines.
- Define roles and responsibilities; ensure everyone knows what they are responsible for.
- Hold regular team check-ins: meet often to track progress and adjust the plan if needed.
- Keep records: document all actions and decisions throughout the project.

Barrier - something that stands in the way of you achieving your goal

Common misconception
There isn't a need for an action plan as long as pupils are passionate about the issue.
An action plan is vital as it ensures everyone knows what their responsibilities are.

Look at real life campaigns and consider how the changemakers action planned and considered potential barriers.
