New technology is making it easier than ever for young people to take up campaigning. One
campaigner working with Battlefront is Aimee Nathan, 17, from London, who will soon have been
campaigning for six months. Aimee is trying to stop people using disposable coffee cups. These are
nonrecyclable due to their plastic covering, so they end up in landfill sites.
Aimee worked out that if just 1,000 people bring their own mugs with them when they buy coffee,
by the end of a year, one coffee shop will have saved 5.5 tonnes of waste and 125 trees. Highlights of her
campaign included appearing on TV and getting a crowd of people, including a famous model, to take
their own mugs to a coffee shop. Aimee’s Facebook page played a big part in publicising the event.
Another Battlefront campaigner, Manpreet Darroch, 19, from Birmingham, became aware of the
importance of road safety when several people he knew were killed or injured in road accidents. He was
shocked to discover that traffic accidents are the biggest cause of death for 15-19-year-olds worldwide:
about 7,000 people under 25 will have lost their lives on the road by the end of next week.
Manpreet decided to focus his campaign on the danger of crossing the street while listening to an
MP3 player. He has used Twitter in his campaign, spoken at political meetings and made a video for the
Battlefront website. He is now hoping to work with musicians to make his message go viral!

When it comes to education options for school-leavers, there are several paths to consider. One
common option is pursuing higher education at a university or college. This path typically involves
obtaining a bachelor’s degree in a chosen field of study, which can provide a solid foundation for various
career opportunities. Universities and colleges offer a wide range of academic programs, allowing school-
leavers to explore their interests and specialize in areas that align with their career aspirations.
Another option for school-leavers is vocational education and training (VET) programs. VET
emphasizes providing practical skills and knowledge that directly apply to specific industries or trades.
These programs offer hands-on training, preparing individuals for careers in fields such as healthcare,
information technology, construction, hospitality, and automotive industries. VET programs often include
apprenticeships or internships, allowing students to gain valuable work experience while studying.
For those who prefer a more experiential approach, apprenticeships can be a valuable education option.
Apprenticeships combine on-the-job training with classroom instruction, allowing school-leavers to earn
while they learn. They provide a unique opportunity to gain practical skills and industry-specific
knowledge directly from professionals in the field. Apprenticeships are available in a variety of
industries, such as construction, culinary arts, electrical work, and healthcare.
Ultimately, the choice of education option for school-leavers depends on individual interests, goals,
and learning preferences. Whether it’s pursuing higher education at a university, enrolling in a vocational
program, or embarking on an apprenticeship, each path offers distinct advantages and can lead to
rewarding career paths. It's important for school-leavers to explore and evaluate these options carefully to
make an informed decision that aligns with their aspirations and sets them on a path to success.
