MYS - Role Models and Heroes

This is a chance for all teachers and students to gather online via Zoom, meet a young person who has experienced exclusion in the past and hear their inspirational story on how they over came this.

We will also celebrate your successes and watch inspirational stories submitted by students, classes and schools as part of our Me and Your Stories (MYS) project 'Lockdown Stories' competition.

The winners of the competition will be announced at this event.

About the MYS project: Schools are social spaces full of personal individual stories. However, these stories are often untold and hidden; knowing each others personal story can tear down barriers, combat prejudice, foster environments of esteem, mutual understanding and common values. Storytelling possesses the power of system change. Me and Your Stories project aims to empower students to be interested in personal stories of their fellow students and community members. We have created an online toolkit, full of useful FREE resources for teachers and parents - you can access them here https://wiki.rixwiki.org/mys/home
