Empower Youth Resource Pack
 Empower Youth is an exciting NEW
teaching resource developed to save you time, and help your
students succeed in our complex world by empowering them to make
thoughtful decisions about nutrition and physical activity.
Empower Youth is very user-friendly, designed so you can easily
find what you want, when you want it. It can be used as a
stand-alone program or as a time-saving backup you can rely on
when you need lessons or fun activities at short notice. If you
decide to use Empower Youth as a stand-alone program there are
Pre and Post program activities that will provide you with an
opportunity to discover what your students know and think about
media, nutrition, and physical activity issues.
The fundamental principle behind Empower Youth is to help young
people learn by doing. Empower Youth uses a variety of learning
formats and is divided into 10 structured modules. Each includes
about 90 minutes of experiential learning. By using a hands-on
approach your students will learn to identify and analyse media
messages and become thoughtful about the actions they’re being
asked to take.

A Personal Note
To You From the Authors
You and I share something in common – we’re committed to
empowering young people in helping them to reach their full
potential. You can take a big step in that direction with the
Empower Youth Resource Pack. The importance of smart choices and
good health among our young people can’t be overstated. This is
an important period in the lives of young people and many of the
patterns they develop in these critical years will stay with
them for much of their lives.
Empower Youth will save you time, and help your students lead
more successful lives by encouraging them to make thoughtful
decisions about nutrition and physical activity. Through this
engaging resource your students will develop the knowledge and
skills needed to take greater control over their food and
physical activity choices, to take greater control over their
use of media and their responses to it.

The media’s not bad but you need to understand
what they’re doing and why they’re doing it – so that you
can respond intelligently – and that’s the really powerful
benefit of Empower Youth. |

Media affects what students eat, how much
exercise they get, and what they aspire to. To be successful
these days young people need to understand media and how it
operates... Empower Youth helped me achieve this with my
students. |

Empower Youth taught me you don’t have to go
out and lift weights and all that stuff, because most of
what you do every day can be a lot of physical activity if
you don’t just sit on your butt and watch TV.” |
