Exercise:
(e.g. language and literature, history, social studies, health education, guidance counselling)
Divide students into pairs or groups of 3–4.
The teacher explains:
Let’s imagine that we are living in the near future, say five years from now. School satisfaction among young people has improved considerably. What has changed for this to occur?
Write a news story in which you describe factors that have contributed to improving school satisfaction among children and young people in Finland over the past five years.
Discuss:
- What is your dream school like?
- What kinds of decisions or laws have been enacted to make it a reality?
- How are children and young people consulted in matters that concern them?
Psst. You can also turn your news story into a short video, in which you interview children, young people and imaginary experts about the situation.
