Issues mindmap - what are the problems we're trying to address?
Do you work in a school or college? If you can spare 4 minutes to fill out this survey we’d really appreciate it:
Initial staff survey >>>
Whatever we do at involver will always be based on what the people we support tell us the need, but at the moment there’s even more scope to help shape this new organisation. Why? Well because it’s new! We’re still feeling our way and so everything is up for grabs.
So, we’ll be setting up an advisory group or groups soon, but we want to give people other ways to influence what we do, so we’ll also be conducting surveys, having meetings, running workshops, attending conferences and working with schools. Of course anyone can also comment on our site or send us an email.
We will always have these people involved:
- Young people
- Those who support young people
- Those who make and influence policy on young people
Why? Because they’re the people we want to help, so if we’re not working with them to figure out what they need we wouldn’t be able to achieve our aims (that’s participation)!
Solution mindmap - what should we be offering?
But we’d also love to get anyone else who’s interested in democracy, education, rights, responsibilities and young people’s skills and wellbeing involved too. You can never have too many friends. So if you are and you’re a:
- Web-designer
- Writer
- Journalist
- Funder
- Trainer
- Councillor
- Counsellor
- Business-owner
- Project Manager
- or anything at all…
we’d really appreciate your involvement.
Right now we’d really want to get responses to our quick survey from any adults working in a school, college, PRU or other educational institution:
We’ll be adding a survey for young people very soon, so please check back.
Making it fun
We’re starting up two monthly events for people working in citizenship and participation, a lot of us work in fairly small organisations or teams, so this should be a fun way to meet up with some like-minded people:
- Friendly five-a-side
- Citizenship book club
Let us know if you’d be interested in coming along to either or both and what day of the week is best for you. Drop us an email at info@involver.org.uk
