Regional Skills Pilot Final Event (June 2021)

The final event of this pilot project was held on Microsoft Teams at the end of June. It was attended by Responsible Activists (school pupils) and Agile Consultants (College students), Mentors from both schools and the University of Edinburgh and Fife College, and by external stakeholders from Fife Council and Scottish Futures Trust.

Each group of Responsible Activists from the two schools presented their final learning space designs and took questions from the wider audience about their experience of the project and reasons behind the learning spaces they had created.

You can access the full report and summary of the pilot project on our Research pages. A video of the final event is below.
