Ideas for youth groups:

1Do a session on trafficking and STOP THE TRAFFIK with your youth group. This meeting outline can be adapted for both secular and church youth groups.

2Nearly half the world's chocolate is made from cocoa grown in Cote D'Ivoire, West Africa. One form of trafficking is the use of children to harvest the cocoa beans on these farms. These children are likely to be working to make your chocolate. STOP THE TRAFFIK is calling for people everywhere of all ages to force the chocolate companies to give a guarantee that their chocolate is Traffik Free. Find out how you can campaign to get Traffik Free Guarantee on Chocolate.

3If you are doing a sporting event, then get sponsored for STOP THE TRAFFIK. Set up a fundraising page on Justgiving. Fundraising in this way makes it very easy for charities to reclaim Gift Aid.

4Print off or buy copies of these posters to put up around your community. Check whether you need permission to do this, and make sure you get it before you set off with your blu-tack and posters!

5Blog about STOP THE TRAFFIK and set up a link to our website. You could add our banner to your blog as well.

6Create a Freedom Wall—a fantastic way of publicising STOP THE TRAFFIK and getting people to sign up! The idea is to put the text of the declaration onto a wall, and provide a means for people to add their support. Be creative – there are lots of different ways you could do this!
