Youth-Led Education Changemaking: Sharing Tools for Change
More and more young people are taking decisive action on the injustices we see around us, eschewing traditional structures like school council committees for more direct action. From climate strikes to decolonising the curriculum, students are demanding wholescale education transformation, building a case for tangible, meaningful, and shared activism; not just as individuals with a large social media following; not just tinkering around the edges; not just as a trend.
This panel discussion was hosted by Simi Musa and Ava James from @not_a_trend (https://twitter.com/not_a_trend), and we heard from:

#DiverseEd Youth Panel
In a recent Changemakers' Lab (https://phoenixeducation.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=82e8232a7cdc4966ea97213a6&id=fe3593fa30&e=584fef4e03) action, Phoenix Education collaborated with Diverse Educators (https://phoenixeducation.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=82e8232a7cdc4966ea97213a6&id=d22e5fc0bb&e=584fef4e03), Pupil Power (https://phoenixeducation.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=82e8232a7cdc4966ea97213a6&id=ee248c8f7b&e=584fef4e03), and Not a Trend (https://phoenixeducation.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=82e8232a7cdc4966ea97213a6&id=3ed87e7e42&e=584fef4e03) in putting together the first ever student only panel at a DiverseEd event. This was also the first time that Diverse Ed had panelled student speakers which included: Aliyah York from @ThePupilPower (https://twitter.com/ThePupilPower), Ava James @avaajames (https://twitter.com/avaajames), Ayah, Lottie Cooke @LottieCooke16 (https://twitter.com/LottieCooke16) and Simi Musa @not_a_trend (https://twitter.com/not_a_trend). Listen up to hear calls for the representation of young people in education decision-making spaces, unapologetic sharing of experiences of school and the education system, the scrapping of student councils to make way for less performative and more representative and critical ways of hearing students' voices. You will also hear visions for 21st century education that is democratic, transparent and honest, that supports students' interests and plays to their strengths.
