Working in partnership with Coltness High School, we supported a group of 4students. These individuals required extra help and assistance or were strugglingto fit in with the current academic learning. This was a core group of young peopleS3+ with weekly sessions for 3hours every Friday morning. In the sessions, wefocused on carrying out development and support activities such as:Healthy eatingUnderstanding emotions and best reactionsCooking healthy eating and lifestylesAwareness of alcohol and drugsEmployability interviews and applications writingLife choicesVolunteering opportunitiesDealing with challenging situationsSet out a budget for homeLooking into rentingOpening up a bank accountPlanning routes to the futureOnline SafetyUnderstanding the communityTo begin with, we started with polling the students' hopes and aspirations. This was toensure that the work directly benefitted the young people, and the work was co-produced.The young people also identified topics they would like to work on, meaning the studenttook an active role in their own upskilling. An introduction to car maintenance was the firstchoice topic. They also chose to get involved in MADE4U centre life and took on some smallvolunteering roles such as attending the Pumpkin Light Trail.The students looked forward to the sessions each week; confidence grew, finding it easier toask for help with their own lives. We also worked through an employability section, andworked individually with each student on their chosen direction, identifying the steps theywould need to take. We worked through a mock application and interview with them whichwas hugely beneficial. This helped the young people build up experience and talk throughsome common questions. Near the end of this group and the finish date, 2 of the youngpeople gained employment with a young person stating that this exercise helped instil moreconfidence when in the interview.One of the activities the young people chose to do, was making a movie focusing on bullyingin school. They worked through creating the characters with their own experiences and theissues they, or those they knew, would be going through. This was entirely directed by thestudents, who could take full responsibility in the shape it took. Choosing this topic allowedus the chance to discuss other social justice issues and the part they can play. Overall, wefeel that the group was of huge benefit, and look forward to continuing this partnership tosupport young people who are disengaging from traditional school learning.19
