Student Shout-Out

The Foundation for Young Australians are running Student ShoutOut again -- their big student voice initiative. This year SSO is youth-led and co-designed by students, for students. Students will lead and run campaigns for change around the education issue that matters most to them. Applications close on Friday, 27th of September.

How can you support this opportunity for students?
FYA hope you will share this opportunity with your schools network. They are asking teachers and principals to share this opportunity with  2 - 4 students (15-18) who are willing to work as team from each school who they believe will want to make a real difference in education.  Students can apply online here.

How does it work?

• Step 1: Student teams of 2-4 create a 30 second video telling us what changes they want to see in their education.  
• Step 2: Fifteen teams will be selected to attend SSO @ Unleashed from November 8-10in Sydney. Students will participate in an education masterclass on 8 November and then be part of the campaigning stream at  Unleashed -- Australia’s first summit for young changemakers being held at the Sydney Opera House on November 9/10.
• Step 3: Student ShoutOut campaigns launch! CNPE will provide Student ShoutOut Champions with the tools and support required to run their campaign for change in education. With access to FYA’s online campaigning platform and a community of young education changemakers, students will see their ideas come to life.

What does this cost?
FYA are subsidising student participation in Student ShoutOut, including the Student ShoutOut masterclass and a ticket to Unleashed. This means there is no cost to students to participate in Student ShoutOut, but students will have to pay for their own travel, accommodation and other expenses. Students will be supervised at all times during the program by FYA staff.
