Newsletter 12: Žákovské parlamenty, free school council posters & our School Council Masterclass


Student voice. It's an international thing. 

Žákovské parlamenty in Prague 



That means 'school council' by the way: We're just back from a great trip to Prague where we trained school council coordinators from across the Czech Republic (including those in traditional Moravian costume!). It turns out that many of the obstacles that Czech schools face are the same as over here. See more about what we learned and what we did here


Smart School Council Masterclass

School council training for primary teachers: We're running a one-day CPD training looking at the best ways to overcome the obstacles that school council coordinators come up against.

We'll be covering things like how to deal with a lack of time, too little staff support and students who find it tough to lead their own projects and meetings. 

If you're interested, you can see more details and book here. Or drop me an email at greg@involver.org.uk

Get a free poster!

Free school council poster: We've just got some new and very lovely primary school council posters made up. Since we're nice guys who don't mind giving stuff away for free, we'll send you one. Just sign up for our newsletter before 22/4/12 and I’ll pop one in the post to you: sign up

Student voice in Haringey?
