What will the event include?

Opening Keynote and Workshops

We’re kicking things off with a bang! Members of the Youth Parliament will set the stage with a welcome keynote. Following this, dive into hands-on workshops with our partners at Unloc (unloc.org.uk) and the Speakers Trust (speakerstrust.org), guiding students in ‘Designing Effective Campaigns’, and honing in on ‘Speaking with Confidence’. As a bonus, Unloc is offering students exclusive access to ‘Unloc+’, a digital platform brimming with leadership development opportunities.

Student Voice and University Experience

Ever wondered how your voice can make a difference? Our Students Union will shed light on the ‘Importance of Student Voice’. This session includes insights into achieving impactful student representation in a university setting, featuring our sabbatical officers. And to top it off, get an exclusive tour of the Students Union facilities to see where all the magic happens!

Reflecting and Making Pledges

As the day winds down, it’s time to reflect on all the learning and inspiration gathered. Students will have the chance to discuss and agree upon some meaningful ‘pledges’ to take back to school. But that’s not all! School staff can join in too, reflecting alongside other school council leaders during this closing session. It’s a perfect wrap-up to an action-packed day!
