  7. Activity 1: Interviewing a change-maker: What makes a change-maker successful? Interview a local change-maker who is making a difference to gender equality. Your change-maker could be a local campaigner, a councillor or a politician.

  8. What makes a change-maker successful? Your class will have an opportunity to ask our local change-maker questions. It is vitally important that the questions are clear and get the kind of response you are looking for. In July, a group of young people like you were able to interview Baroness Garden, Deputy Speaker of the House of Lords. Watch the two clips of the video and think about the interview questions. Are they good ones? Would you change them? What would you ask?

  9. Activity 2: Preparing for your interview Interview checklist Do your research. Make contact with your interviewee. Get the date in the diary. Decide who’s doing what. Plan your script, including interview questions. Be interview-ready: practise, practise. Sort the technical things (audio and video). Look after your interviewee! • Who are they? What is their background? • What are they doing and why? • What difference are they making? • Will their work have a long-term impact on young people’s futures?

  10. Having a say Activity 3: Preparing for the interview • Tasks: • Prepare an interview script and questions using your research into the topics of concern. • Rehearse and practise your questions. • Refer to the interview checklist. • Hold your interview. Your challenge is to prepare well for your interview.

  11. What makes a change-maker successful? Plenary: Reflect on how the interview went. Did you find out what you wanted to know? Did you get your point across? What would you do differently next time? Write a short feature article for the school newsletter about the change-maker and what has made them successful based on the interview transcript.
