This group of young women was united by their passion to make their public spaces safer for the whole community of Stratford (London). They were fed-up with having to avoid particular places because of the fear of experiencing violence, harassment and unwanted attention. Others had experienced the same behavior's in their neighborhoods and on their way to school. Designed by young people, Pop Path creates joyful murals and informative campaigns that bring a sense of community. It also equips members of the community with the information and practical tools to deal with the negative impact of harassment.

Schools Linking Project
Two schools collaborated on a program, enabling students to delve into issues important to them and the broader community.
Add to favourites
Two schools collaborated - Marsden Heights Community College and Park High School Colne – for the students to discuss the issues which were important to them and the wider community. The project took the students on a journey to learn about the school, local, national and international matters. They learnt and expressed how they felt about things and what their peers thought too. They engaged with local councilors, community workers and the general public on current matters. They then worked with a local poet to create a message to go back to the school and the community about their experience.

Newham-based School 21 strives to develop young people who are thoughtful problem solvers, creative innovators, and confident communicators. In this new take on traditional work experience, Year 10 students work with local businesses and the community to provide meaningful experiences that change lives. Over several weeks, every student spends half a day each week in the workplace, solving an authentic problem for a real organisation.
Previous project examples include a ‘how to’ computer guide for a local elderly home and a film on life in the community for a social housing organisation.
