Project 13 – Academic Anxiety Amongst Teens

An inspiring social action project taking a creative deep dive into academic anxiety.
Details
Add to favourites

In Project 13, students initially narrowed down their choice of topic to ‘academic anxiety’. Each student designed their own contributions with guidance and assistance from adults and peers to create a classroom maze, which was representative of navigating the teenage years. Titled “The Maze of Emotions," it was constructed of PVC pipe and connectors and then filled with writing and art (later exhibited). Related learning and passions were also showcased onstage and/or in the classroom. Read the full article for useful insights into the steps in the development of this project.

The Passport Snapshot

The passport supports the reflection process of #WeWill projects.
Details
Add to favourites

The passport supports the reflection process of #WeWill projects. Passports have been developed as a medium for pupils to record their journey through the social action process. The passport allows pupils to record what they have learnt, learn more skills, and solve riddles through the use of their problem-solving skills. If partners wish to assess, they can do it according to their assessment policies, but a minimum of 3 times is a strong recommendation. Teachers are not expected to determine the outcome of the young people's social action project. The passport is part of the success criteria for the completion of the Youth Social Action Project.

Aims

Youth Social Action (YSA)

Refers to activities that young people do to make a positive difference to others while developing key skills and attributes and having fun. YSA can take place in various contexts (i.e. at home, schools, youth clubs etc) and can include volunteering, fundraising, campaigning or supporting peers. We believe social action can play an essential role: in young lives, the success of a school, the local community or more.

Youth Social Action Toolkit

Youth Social Action Toolkit

Our Youth Social Action Toolkit has been carefully developed by industry professionals with input from young people to guide school leaders, support staff, and young people through a Youth Social Action project. Our curriculum guides clearly outline how YSA can be integrated into the curriculum of schools with limited time.

 

We don’t gatekeep – by sharing our sector knowledge and resources, we aim to enrich the lives of all young people by fostering skills development, improving agency and wellbeing, and promoting active citizenship.

Reflect

The fifth and final step of the YSA process is to reflect! Looking back at your plan, did you achieve your aims?  What went well and what didn’t go so well? Can you sustain your project? Or did you take steps to ensure further projects aren’t needed?
