Campaign group ActionAid, which is co-ordinating the schools work of the 10:10 campaign, has launched an educational pack as part of its own Countdown to Copenhagen plan. ActionAid says the first 1,000 schools in England and Scotland to sign up to 10:10 will be sent the pack for free.They say the pack, based on the film The Age Of Stupid, which was made by Franny Armstrong, the campaigner behind 10:10, is suitable for key stage 3 and above, and aims to "stimulate debate and create an alternative ending". The pack does not contain the film, but ActionAid says it "explores its key themes through a series of photocards, film clips and thought-provoking animations".

ActionAid is giving away 1,000 of its award-winning PowerDown toolkits to the first 1,000 primary schools that sign up to 10:10. And a "Stupid Or Not? – Education for a Smarter Planet" pack will be given to the first 1,000 secondary schools that sign up.
