Calling the Shots is a multi-media education and information resource designed to engage young people and stimulate discussion about their attitudes towards guns.

This website introduces a programme of lesson plans, video clips and activity worksheets covering the following six themes:

  • Factors/context behind youth gun violence.
  • Citizenship/social responsibility.
  • Managing stress, anger & adversity.
  • Embracing diversity.
  • Gangs: Fact & Fiction.
  • Faith in the Law.
On this website you will also find links to support groups and community resources in London and the UK as well as links to additional reading material, pages covering current news and issues - and our newsletter. There are also messages from Ken Livingstone and Lee Jasper.

 
The aim of this website and the Calling the Shots programme is to provide teachers, educators and youth workers with the tools to work with young people towards a better understanding of the underlying reasons for gun crime.

We hope you find this website useful.
