BIG ISSUE Schools Edition
Last month, colleagues from the Post 16 Team represented Hillingdon Council at a Social Enterprise event hosted at the House of Lords. The event was supported by Lord Bird to Launch the BIG ISSUE Schools Edition. Some schools were in attendance and presented business idea's, how they are learning to be sustainable (upcycling clothes/trainers) and how they raise money to support their local community (to donate to food banks etc). Other LA's were also in invited and there were conversations around how young people can be supported to explore options for their future.
How does Social Enterprise Schools work?
Delivered by local social entrepreneurs, their pupil-led programme supports young people to identify the environmental or social issue they want to solve and create a business to make that change happen. It has been shown to build individual confidence and wellbeing while developing essential skills in areas such as employability, global citizenship and leadership. By giving young people a real-life experience of running their own social enterprise, this programme delivers transformational learning which impacts them, their school and their community.
