A youth voice event
A day that brings children’s and young people’s experience of school into the conversation about what comes next.
Designed, led, chaired and curated with young people.
The idea
What does school feel like?
What should school feel like?
Children and young people experience school every day. They know what helps them settle, focus and belong, and what gets in the way. That lived experience is expertise, and it should help shape education.
This event moves from the first question to the second. Young people set the agenda; adults bring their own experience and come ready to listen and act.
An event shaped and led by children and young people, exploring how school should feel and what adults can do to make it happen.
Three zones
The day is split into three zones: Talk, Doing, and Chill & Play. Move between them at your own pace.
Conversations where young people’s questions lead and adults respond.
Adults come to answer, not to lecture.
Hands-on sessions, from workshops to yoga and breathwork, for young people and adults together.
Everyone takes part, adults included.
A calmer space for whenever you need a break.
Come back to the conversation when you’re ready.
Programme in development Activities, sessions and timings are proposals and will be shaped with young people.
