Outcomes & Outputs

Our quality processes are designed to assure that programmes support all five outcomes of Every Child Matters and Every Youth Matters. Please ask for details of how we do this.

An open youth-led process of action research allows other outcomes to emerge and evolve. We give participants tools they can use to explore their own way through the project – then apply in other areas of their learning.

Across all our projects we aim for:
• awareness raising of the factors affecting sustainable development
• empowerment to take action to promote sustainable development both locally and globally
• vocational learning that links to the new Diploma qualifications, especially Functional, Personal, Learning & Thinking and Applied skills (adult-based programmes may be linked to continuing professional development)
• integration of Extended, Healthy and Sustainable Schools agendas, enterprise, citizenship and PSHE; delivery of Sustainability Action Plans

Typical Outputs

• Reduced carbon footprint – cutting energy, waste and water bills, creating opportunities
• Credits towards pre-entry, Level 1-3 qualifications across the community (primary school programmes are linked to ASDAN's Stepping Stones)
• Innovative models for using creativity to engage students in learning
• Raised profile of sustainability across the local area through a range of arts and cultural events and syndicated podcasts
• Schools and learning centres fly Eco-School Green Flags
