I’m a little bit excited today, well actually I have been all week, because tomorrow we’re off to a very swanky awards ceremony at the Hilton in Park Lane, where Greg has won an award!
So, we’ve both bought our outfits and arranged a very select group of colleagues and friends to join us (sorry if [...]

The NASUWT sent out a letter trawling for members’ negative experiences of student voice. Are they intending to launch a broadside on pupils having a say in schools? The letter makes it look that way.
Back in February, two of our colleagues from the Czech Republic spent a week with us. Tomas and Kamila, from CEDU, met with a range of people to learn about the UK’s approach to student voice and school councils. We met colleagues at ACT, Citizenship Foundation, DCSF, London Metropolitan University, Tower Hamlets, Preston Manor school [...]
I was at the QCDA’s Citizenship Key Players meeting last week.
A great day with a range of thoughtful discussions and presentations. Good to see a lot of familiar faces, and hear about citizenship in the new primary curriculum.
Particularly interesting was some of the things that came up from Judith Matharu and Tony Gallagher from Ofsted [...]
We had a great meeting with an organisation called User Voice last week.

One of the ways they are doing this is through prison councils – [...]

We’re starting up a friendly, monthly five-aside game in Old Street for anyone working in the youth and citizenship fields:
bit of fun, bit of sweat, bit of networking
Aisha Forbes, a good friend of involver, is involved with Youth Producing Change this year.
It’s an innovative program of youth-produced short films from across the globe showcasing young people’s perspectives on human rights crises. Ten films will be shown from teen film makers from London, Mozambique and New York, and they will be present [...]
Big week for us last week – the Speaker’s School Council Awards was launched. This is the project that Parliament asked Asher and I to help with. The event was a real success, and the young people from Brecknock Primary School and Little Heath Secondary presented their projects brilliantly. It was also great to hear [...]
