Imagine that a new government office is being set up to ensure that young people are provided with all the basic things that they want and need. The cards represent the list of wants and needs that the office has drawn up. The officials would like you to think of one more item that might be missing.
Which items were most commonly eliminated in the first round? Why? Was the second round of eliminations more difficult than the first? Why? Did you and others in your group have any disagreements over the items to eliminate? Which ones, and why? How did you resolve this? What is the difference between wants and needs? Which items on the list are wants and which are needs? Do wants and needs differ for different people? Why or why not?
Let's now have a look at the ombudsman for children and young people's website. In your groups you must find out more about the many different issues that children and young people have told us are important to them. Each group will be assigned one or two of the following issues, Health, Education, Young people and the law, Having a voice, Equality, Play and recreation, Community and environment. You will then provide feedback on the issue(s) you have researched to the rest of the class.
