Citizenship: Hope Schools Challenge
Citizenship: Hope Schools Challenge – Express Community Through Schools
BIG DREAM:
To see young people in schools doing something to change their town and impact the lives of others in their community.
‘Express Hope in their Community’ is an enabling tool to achieve this. Using a series of lessons and a DVD resource, called Express Community through Schools, young people are being encouraged to understand the needs of their community and work to meet those needs with a specific project that they undertake and evaluate.
Pupils can also create a 3-5 minute video diary of their project which can be used to record their achievement and inspire others.
The aim is that each project will involve:
- Participation
- Meeting a real need
- Impact on the community
- Initiated, planned and delivered by young people
The sessions can be delivered in 6-8 hours but time also needs to be allocated to do the project.
