The Fun Theory

I just came across this video (thanks to@hellostanley for pointing it out):

And it seems to me that this is exactly what school councils should be about: making things fun, but in a way that improves other things too.

There are two more excellent, funny videos on thefuntheory.com website as well as a competitionIf you can come up with an idea for how you could change people’s behaviour in a fun way, you could get a €2,500 (£2,250) grant to make it happen!

So watch the videos, get some ideas and get your entry in quick, it closes on the 14th November.

Let us know what you’re doing to make things fun.

I know this might be seen as me giving free advertising for VW, but when it’s a good idea, it’s a good idea! That’s the beauty of making things fun. You can’t argue with it, you just want to spread it around. Your school council needs to make use of this!

  • RT @FifeWOW: Pondering this: What is our motive in acquiring student voice; to confirm OUR thinking or to gain NEW understanding? #
  • .@FifeWOW hopefully doesn't take too much pondering. #
  • .@FifeWOW That's not to say there aren't a fair few engaged in #studentvoice who shouldn't spend some time doing just that! #
  • Does your school have a written policy on pupil involvement in decision-making? Which country? Please RT #
