Global Action Plan are offering free one-day workshops to a teacher and 30 students aged 11-18 (ideally at the older end of the scale), looking at the impact of consumerism on young people’s wellbeing.
In the workshop, they will give students tools to look after their own mental wellbeing, question our relationship with ‘stuff’, and build resilience to – and spot – when they’re being advertised to. Content from the workshop will then be used as part of a national campaign – the first of its kind – giving students the chance to have their voices heard by hundreds of policy makers and industry influencers.
They will deliver the workshops at your school. They currently have availability for:
- w/c 25th February
- w/c 4th March
Please see flyer below for further information.
