WHAT HAPPENED?
In this project lead students led three creative groups – podcast, website creation and video creation. The website and podcast groups have been incredibly successful as they have most participating students engaging with the project, following up the workshop and learning to either design their own website or create a podcast. We had participating students showcasing their work at the end of the year celebration. I found particularly inspiring that our student leaders needed very little support from the staff to lead their own groups and workshops. They were switched on and knew how to manage the groups, and how to engage. I thought that their leadership were exemplary and I hope something they will take away into the workplace as a great skill they’ve practiced.
WHAT ADVICE OR ENCOURAGEMENT WOULD YOU GIVE TO SOMEONE THINKING OF DOING A CHANGEMAKERS PROJECT?
Go for it, it’s currently the most successful way of engaging with the students. As it’s a long time engagement it also leaves greatest impact on the students.
