Brilliant news, thanks everyone!

We are helping schools in Shropshire to air student views through a dedicated radio magazine show that will empower them to gain confidence and tackle issues in their schools and communities.
We are helping schools to cultivate essential life skills such as communication, problem-solving, and adaptability through the use of broadcast media and a specialist radio show specifically for schools to air student views on a range of topics that are important to them. Any school in Shropshire Telford and Wrekin can provide content for the show that our volunteers will master and compile. This pilot project will provide a platform for your school to have their voice on air which will empower students to gain confidence and tackle issues in their schools and communities. It will engage young people in modern and real-world thinking, they'll learn from others and be able to take action in their schools and communities. At the core they will learn about a wide range of issues through discussions that affect them and use that knowledge to record their opinions that we air through a dedicated weekly school radio show that people can listen to through our website or app.
What we'll deliver:
Why it's a great idea:
• Provision of a community radio show to excite, educate and engage young people that is not available in Shropshire • Encourage student collaboration, discussion and resolving opinions • Engage and empower young people • A safe place for young people to voice opinions • Understanding what matters in local communities and what other communities are experiencing by comparison • Understanding what impact they can have in their schools and communities • Alignment to school purposes, the national curriculum, iteracy and oracy • Further opportunities for volunteers, education and jobs
Steps to get it done:
We believe it's important that young people heave their voices heard. With almost 25% of 0 to 15 year olds in Shropshire Telford and Wrekin living in income deprived households, we need to create unique opportunities for young people to gain valuable experience to help show that they are important and our opinions and understanding matters, they can shape who they become and the communities they live in.
