Topical Talk

Inclusive resources

Download our free teaching resources for students aged 10-16. We cover the biggest topical issues of our time to help students to learn, think critically and talk about the issues affecting their lives.

In many countries, great progress has been made towards a more equal and inclusive society. The media has a powerful role to play in this, with the ability to shape stories and public opinion.

So what can be done to help create communities where all types of people feel welcome? Can equality be realised everywhere? And how can the media make a difference?
