Friends, Strangers, Citizens? Life in Britain post 7/7

‘Friends, Strangers, Citizens? Life in Britain post 7/7’ is a new DVD discussion resource, produced by South Asian Development Partnership.

The DVD is the latest module in the Masala BridgeBuilders series and features community leaders, young people and people on the street giving their views on issues such as the threat of terror, the role of religion, multiculturalism and freedom of speech. It is split into 5 short sections (approx. 6 minutes each) covering the following topics:

• What happened on 7/7?
• Is religion the problem or the solution?
• Is multiculturalism dead?
• Freedom of speech vs respect?
• What kind of Britain do we want?

Worksheets with further material and discussion questions are included on the DVD and can be photocopied freely.

The resource can be used in a range of contexts, including schools, community groups, youth groups, and carer and toddler groups. Its aim is to help people talk and listen to each other, a key step in promoting understanding between people and building bridges - part of the long term solution for damaged community relations. It can also be used by church groups who want to explore the issues for themselves and for those who want to reach out into their local communities.

Clips from the materials can be watched by clicking here and from the South Asian Development Partnership website.
