Supporting Student Action Projects for Wellbeing and Mental Health (Purposeful Pedagogies Masterclass)

Description

This one-hour webinar will explore student wellbeing and mental health in schools today, and how to facilitate the process of meaningful Student Action Projects.

During this session, we will equip educators with a 'how to guide', from the selection of meaningful and appropriate issues, designing achievable and suitable solutions, to connecting to community and amplifying success through Digital Storytelling, with the aim of designing meaningful solutions to address student wellness and mental health.

We will explore how Student Action Projects support and develop Student Voice and Agency, as well as Leadership skills in authentic learning contexts that motivated students. Data from Australian Student Action Projects will showcase skills, knowledge and dispositions these develop.
