Good Life Schools is a student-led, project based learning opportunity for schools
Young people are exposed to more advertising than ever before, especially on online platforms and through social media.
The relentless pressure to buy is making young people feel inadequate, judged, and unhappy. We know that the pressure to consume is harming young people’s wellbeing and the planet.
We don’t accept that having more – more likes, more stuff, more spending - is the only way to live a good life.
Good Life Schools gives young people the opportunity to explore the impact of our consumer-driven, digital society and take meaningful action for change. The programme empowers young people to reimagine ways of living and learning that are good for us and good for the planet.
Are you ready to embark on exciting challenge? Get involved.
We want students to focus on being physically healthy, to care for others, to be creative, to feel empowered that they can impact on the world around them and to have the best chances of being happy in the future. Good Life Schools shares all of these goals. Its brilliant!
Sally Gough, Assistant Principal, Head of Post-16, Ellesmere College
Societal pressures to buy into hyper-consumerist lifestyles are impacting the wellbeing of young people, and our shared planet. Through Good Life Schools, we’re working with young people and their communities to break free of the pressures to consume, re-define notions of success and focus on what really makes us happy
