For Coming of Age and even youth groups, this resource is quite extensive! There are workbooks that you can download -- they seem to me to be great resources for educators in ethics, and could be well used by the older children in EC programs. They outline any "ethical issue" and ethics as expressed from various cultural and intellectual voices throughout human history. Shared by Audrey Kindred

"In God We Teach" is a great 1-hour documentary about the separation of church and state in the classroom. Matt LaClair (who grew up through Ethical Culture) stood up to his teacher proselytizing in class and started a great debate in his hometown, which spread. The film represents both sides well so I believe it is a great piece for the older kids to learn about bullying, taking a stand on what you believe, and dealing with various critics.
