The Young Citizens work-book project will involve primary school teachers taking the 9 to 10 year old children through the history of Birmingham from medieval times to the present, in order to imbue in them a sense of pride in their city - and lay the foundations for good citizenship. The teacher will give the children an appropriate understanding of the City's involvement in free trade, scientific and engineering development, manufacturing innovation, early ethnic mixing and leadership in municipal services.

To produce this workbook, the Civic Society will seek sponsorship to cover the costs of research, publication and the production of materials to provide directly to participating children.
