There are 15 hours of total content as many of the lessons are doubles, each coming with detailed easy to follow PowerPoint, worksheets, clips, activities and info packs.

The lesson contains a source pack, clip with questions and answers, exit ticket plenary and lots of information so you don’t need to already be an expert. 4) Extremism - Algorithms and Subcultures - Brand new PSHE lesson all about how video platform algorithms (such as YouTube and Tiktok) can lead us to viewing extreme ideas and conspiracy theories, as well as subcultures (such as incels culture /misogyny) - often without us ever intending to. The lesson investigates what these extreme subcultures are, and how we are allowing platforms to shape our views and interests and what this may mean for wider society. Students will examine case studies of students who stumbled upon extreme videos or radical movements and see how they arrived at this content from first watching innocent or benign videos aligning with their interests. 5) Political Polarisation - A new lesson which could be used in Citizenship, PSHE or Tutor Time all about how and why we may be becoming more politically polarised and the importance of dialogue and listening to others with different opinions to ourselves.

The aim of the lesson is to teach students how to have peaceful, constructive debates even over controversial opinions and to promote peace and dialogue. 6) Extremism on the Far Right 2026 - A new PSHE / Citizenship lesson focusing on the new far-right extremism and rhetoric of 2026 which is reaching students from American groups such as the ‘groypers’.

The lesson will last you at least 1 hour and everything is editable. All information you need is included. 7) Extremism + Ideology - 2 hours - New lesson about all different types of extremism and radical ideology / subcultures. Students will first explore how TikTok and Youtube algorithms can recommend videos which purposefully push radical views, from misogyny to extreme religion and more, to people who did not intentionally search for such content, and discover how people can fall down radical rabbit-holes. They will examine the 'frog in a pot' analogy to show how extremist views can take such a stronghold on people. 8) Immigration, Migrant Hotels and Flags - A new PSHE / Citizenship lesson focusing on why there is so much debate surrounding the housing of migrants in hotels, why there are so many flags appearing everywhere around the UK and why we’re seeing an increase in street protests . Students will investigate the reasons for both sides protesting (pro and anti asylum seekers in hotels), the difference between hate speech and free speech and the difference between patriotism and nationalism.
