Social Action Campaign
Participation on our leadership, entrepreneurship, and Innovation programmes has prompted a call to action for students who want to take their new skills and experience and turn it into something positive for their school and their wider community.
Our Vantage Education network furthers the understanding of how research findings from the World’s top scientists has the potential to inform teaching and learning through research, collaboration, and advocacy.
As an outcome of the work we are doing in schools, students are building on their learning and translating it into self-led social action campaigns and increases parent engagement which has been shown to increase school attendance.
This initiative fosters dialogue among professional teachers and Brain Science researchers to develop joint research projects and magnify the potential for current findings in order to enrich educational practice.
CASE STUDY: Sports Partnership Herefordshire and Worcestershire
Vantage Education worked with students aged 9 to 10, organised by the Sports Partnership, to produce an awareness around stress and anxiety exhibition set piece. The students – all nominated ‘gifted and talented’ – created a short video over a six week period.
The exhibition featured the focus on: ‘Positive Feelings About Life’, ‘Our Behaviours’ and ‘Our Identity’ to coordinate the PSHE topics that were undertaken at nearby schools.
The students conducted their own research, learned about the new knowledge into a visual art presentation with the support of Vantage Education.
As an outcome of the work we achieved with the partnership, students were building on their learning and translating it into self-led set of social action campaigns and increased parent engagement, which has been shown to increase school attendance.
