CoACT Consultation Workshops for Schools.

Our partners at CoACT are looking to involve young people in shaping the future of the new Special Assistance School in Morayfield. Why? Because this will help ensure the school’s culture, curriculum, pathways and branding truly reflect the voices, ideas and lived experiences of the young people it will serve.

To consult on how young people’s perspectives should inform the development of the school, the Australian School of Entrepreneurship is excited to offer fully-funded activations with follow up consultation workshops for youth across Moreton Bay. These sessions can be hosted in schools, community centres or youth programs. Our workshops guide students through a creative ideation process to address key questions about what they want to see in the school and how to keep students engaged.

Students will develop and pitch their ideas, enhancing their problem-solving and presentation skills. At the start of each workshop, we offer tailored activations that can be selected by the school based on their capacity and available space.

We look forward to collaborating with you to ensure CoACT’s new Special Assistance School is truly designed with young people, for young people.
