Why as a team did you choose to focus on this challenge?

We chose to do diversity and inclusion Because while we interview people they all agreed there was an issue and had seen it happening in the work place or school environment and we felt its an issue that we could really help make changes


What do you know now about the challenge that you didn't know before?

We know that people face a lot more issues than seen from an outside perspective and awareness is so important to this cause.


What have you learnt about your Hero?

Rosa Parks (1913—2005) helped initiate the civil rights movement in the United States when she refused to give up her seat to a white man on a Montgomery, Alabama bus in 1955. Her actions inspired the leaders of the local Black community to organize the Montgomery Bus Boycott


If you could improve one thing for your Hero what would that be?

More diversity and start the fight to make things fair for everyone sooner.


Do you have any ideas for a potential solution? No matter how raw, share them with your Mentors for feedback.

-make education about diversity and inclusion a part of secondary school courses -make diversity a normal conversation topic by adding things like murals ect. to create awarness - Youth groups to help people of all ages who are suffering from diversity issues


Ask your Mentor anything …. This is a chance to ask your Mentors a direct question relating to your Big Idea.

What we should be doing to improve the youth group idea.
