Student Life

Student Life aims to advance the education and skills of young people by contributing to, and participating in, the production of a periodic lifestyle publication. We support the upskilling of young people through multiple avenues such as Writing, Photography, Filming and Mental Health Ambassadors. We provide support and activities which develop their skills, capacities, and capabilities to enable them to participate in society as mature and responsible individuals.

Our focus areas are based on 16 core subjects: Art, Entertainment, Gaming, Fashion, Beauty, Travel, My planet, Careers, What the Food, My Life, LGBT, Tech, My Money and Sexual, Mental and Physical Health. We tackle areas highlighted by young people, such as stigma and media stereotypes surrounding mental health, body image and bullying. Student Life allows young people to make their voices heard through print, online and via interactive workshops.

Why Student Life?

Student Life provides a unique peer to peer approach; giving opportunities to young people to take control and responsibility for an organisation. Young people have a voice in every aspect of what Student Life does and they steer it in the direction they think it should go. It is an opportunity for young people’s voices to be heard. The project is delivered to school years 10 & 11, 6^th forms, colleges, and universities.

Student Life also asks young people to volunteer as Mental Health Ambassadors, to provide support to their peer groups. We have our own in-house instructors who are qualified through Mental Health First Aid England to be able to deliver courses to our young people, which ensures our overriding peer to peer approach.

Everything that we do has a positive effect on our young people and there is something for everyone to get involved with.
