Youth workshops, Youth Justice publication, playing cards

There are three ongoing projects that the Youth Education Project at Macquarie Legal Centre is responsible for: workshops, a book and playing cards.

Youth workshops for young people explain their rights and responsibilities. The workshops include actors who present three separate scenarios. A resource is currently being developed to run the workshops using a film instead of the live theatre. The resource will include a DVD, a powerpoint presentation and a study guide.

"Youth Justice: Your Guide to Cops and Court in NSW" is a publication aimed at those working with young people and how best they can support them in criminal matters

"Real Deal" playing cards: each card contains a legal tip and is aimed at young people who may play with the cards whilst waiting at court etc.
