Cruncharama: Young people on the G20

Child's hand holding coins and a sign saying pocket money

Schools around the world are working with BBC World Class and their partners, The British Council, to share their opinions on the global financial crisis - or credit crunch - and the G20 London Summit.

We want children and young people around the world to join the "Crunch-arama" and let us know what they think the G20 Summit can achieve when it meets on the 2 April.

Find out more about the Crunch-arama


If you are a teacher and would like your pupils to participate, simply ask them to respond to the following questions about the G20 and the global financial crisis. You don't have to answer all the questions, it's fine to choose the ones which will work best for your class. Send the answers to the BBC using the form below:

How has the global financial crisis changed your life?

How do you think that the global financial crisis will affect your opportunities in the future?

If the G20 leaders visited you to find out how young people and children are affected by the global financial crisis, what would you show them and who would you introduce them to?

How do you think the G20 leaders can help people with money problems where you live?

What would you ask the G20 leaders about the global financial crisis and what do you want them to do at the London summit?

We will be posting the "Crunch-aramas" online on an interactive world map in the lead up to the G20 London Summit which takes place in April. We will not be able to publish entire pieces of work and we can't guarantee that your work will get published although we will publish as much as we can.

We will not identify the surnames of the pupils and we will check all contributions before publishing them.

In order to be able to publish your pupil's responses on the BBC website, we need the emails to come from teachers, and for teachers to confirm that they have obtained Head Teacher permission for this.

Tell us the name and location of your school, then copy and paste your pupils' work into the comments box including the first name and age of each pupil.

And, if your school has a twin school in another country, please let us know in the comments box.


Thank you for your comments. We are no longer looking for contributors.
