Empowering Student Voice Conference
Empowering Student Voice Conference
You and your Student Council have been working hard to support your school community all year. Now it’s our turn to support you
The event will run from 9:30-2:15pm.
We will be joined by members of youth parliament who will give a welcome keynote. This will be followed by a carousel of workshops from our partners Unloc (unloc.org.uk/) and the Speakers Trust (speakerstrust.org/) , with a focus on ‘designing effective campaigns’ and ‘speaking with confidence’. Additionally, Unloc will provide attending students access to ‘Unloc +’, a digital platform that provides a variety of leadership development opportunities.
Finally, our Students Union will be providing a session on the importance of student voice and how this is achieved in a university setting with our sabbatical officers. This will also include a tour of their facilities.
The day will close with your students getting the chance to reflect on their learning and agreeing on some ‘pledges’ to take back to school. School staff will also get the chance to reflect with other school council leaders during this closing session.
Through a variety of engaging and inspiring workshops our Empowering Student Voice Conference provides members of Student Councils in years 7 – 11 the chance to develop new skills, learn from others, and generate new ideas.
