Across the globe, young people are joining together to lead massive protests known as the "Gen Z movements". They are complaining about corruption, a lack of jobs for young people and public services they say are not good enough.

Students in Nepal and Morocco have
used apps like TikTok and Discord to
quickly organise and protest.

Read the placards individually. Try to discover what the protest is about?

Find a group and guess:

What the protest is about.

Where this protest might
have happened.

Step 14: Constructive communication

I am maintaining clear and constructive communication in challenging situations

All placards are real messages used in
Gen Z protests

Tell us: what was the protest about?

Find your match: How powerful are
Gen Z protests?

1. Stand up and put your hand up

2. Find someone else with their hand up who has the opposite card. For example, if you have a question, find someone with an answer

3. High five that person and put your
   hands down

4. The person with the question should read their card aloud first, then the person with
   the answer should do the same

5. Discuss if you think your question and
   answer match

6. If you think they match, sit down

7. If you don’t think you have found
   a match repeat steps 1 to 6

On your card you either have a question or an answer

What is the answer to the question?

Step 13: Negotiating
I manage discussions effectively
to reach an agreement

People with questions stand at the front of the class.

People with answers stand next to the questions you think your answer is matched to.

Which question and answer surprised you the most?

Which protest had the most impact?

Imagine you are
joining a protest.

What would your placard say?

Whose protest would you join?
