Coram’s Voices in Action Ambassadors are 16 – 25 year olds with personal experience of homelessness and school exclusion. They campaign locally and nationally to change policy and practice and empower their peers with knowledge of their rights through workshop delivery and content creation.
Free youth led workshops for young people and professionals
Through our Voices in Action programme, 16-25 year olds with experience of school exclusion and homelessness co-design and deliver workshops using their own experiences to make a difference to others.
If you’re interested in booking in a workshop for your young people or staff please contact Crystal, our Youth Engagement and Co-production Officer, on crystal.crawford@coram.org.uk.
Peer-led workshops for young people
Workshops for 12 – 16 year olds who are finding school challenging
We are offering free one-hour workshops delivered by young facilitators with experience of school exclusion for their peers. Workshops will help young people explore what to do if they’re finding school difficult and what their rights are if they face internal or external exclusion.
Workshops for 16 – 25 year old who are homeless or facing housing issues
Workshops will look at what to do if young people face homelessness and what their rights are. Workshops will be interactive and empowering, sharing messages of inspiration from our young facilitators.
Workshops for professionals
Our workshops are co-designed and delivered by young people. They give professionals the opportunity to hear from young people on their experiences and best practice from a young person’s perspective.
We offer workshops to the following:
-
Teachers on school exclusion – how to prevent school exclusion and support young people through the school exclusions process
-
Local authority housing teams – how to support young people effectively who are at risk of homelessness
-
Housing solicitors – how to work with young people to ensure they feel supported through the process
This work builds on our previous peer-led workshops with migrant young people – you can view a video which brings this to life here:
