  2. Youth-Led Education Changemaking: Sharing Tools for Change

    Youth-Led Education Changemaking: Sharing Tools for Change

    More and more young people are taking decisive action on the injustices we see around us, eschewing traditional structures like school council committees for more direct action. From climate strikes to decolonising the curriculum, students are demanding wholescale education transformation, building a case for tangible, meaningful, and shared activism; not just as individuals with a large social media following; not just tinkering around the edges; not just as a trend. This panel discussion was hosted by Simi Musa and Ava James from @not_a_trend, and we heard from: Jemmar Samuels @TheJemmar @thehalocltv Amy Meek @BePlasticClever Yumna Hussen @Yumna_Hussen Lottie Cooke @LottieCooke16 Click here for the Change Collective website

    #DiverseEd Youth Panel

    In a recent Changemakers' Lab action, Phoenix Education collaborated with Diverse Educators, Pupil Power, and Not a Trend in putting together the first ever student only panel at a DiverseEd event. This was also the first time that Diverse Ed had panelled student speakers which included: Aliyah York from @ThePupilPower, Ava James @avaajames, Ayah, Lottie Cooke @LottieCooke16 and Simi Musa @not_a_trend. Listen up to hear calls for the representation of young people in education decision-making spaces, unapologetic sharing of experiences of school and the education system, the scrapping of student councils to make way for less performative and more representative and critical ways of hearing  students' voices. You will also hear visions for 21st century education  that is democratic, transparent and honest, that supports students' interests and plays to their strengths.

    Self-Care, Burn-out, and Going the Distance

    Sophie Christophy explores self care and avoiding burn out as a Change Maker. Change-making is demanding work, that can take it's toll on body, mind and soul, and without self-care and burnout awareness, it is hard for activists to persist in their work in a healthy way. In this session the group explores: What self-care means and why it's so important. Our own stories and experiences on this theme. What burn-out is, so that we can recognise it's signs and symptoms in ourselves and others, What our own self-care and burn-out aware practice might look like.
