5 Commandments for Effective Youth Engagement
At Pawlehouse Company, we have learnt that young people ignore causes that ignore them - those that tell them what to do. Those that frame them as vulnerable and needing 'empowerment'. As the largest cohort in history, young people remain the most formidable agents of change, at scale and speed. We have simplified our lessons into 5 commandments when it comes to persuading them to rally behind a cause. Let us know what you think. https://lnkd.in/d7uXEj-F

Life, liberty, and justice" are foundational concepts often associated with the principles of democracy and human rights. Here's a brief overview of each:
1. **Life**: This concept emphasizes the fundamental right of every individual to live. It encompasses not just the physical existence of a person, but also the opportunity for a fulfilling life, including access to necessary resources such as food, shelter, and healthcare.
2. **Liberty**: Liberty refers to the individual's freedom to make choices without undue restraint or oppression. This includes freedom of speech, religion, and the right to pursue one's own path, as long as it does not infringe on the rights of others. It is a core principle in democratic societies that supports the protection of personal freedoms and autonomy.
3. **Justice**: Justice involves the fair treatment of individuals and the equitable application of laws and standards. It seeks to ensure that all individuals have access to due process and that wrongdoings are addressed fairly and appropriately. This also includes social justice, which pertains to the distribution of resources and opportunities in society.
These principles are often enshrined in legal frameworks, constitutions, and international human rights documents, and they serve as guiding ideals for governments and societies worldwide.

"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."
– Preamble to the Constitution of the United States
Constitution Day is observed each year on September 17th to commemorate the signing of the Constitution on September 1787, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. 39 of the 55 attending delegates signed the Constitution. The Constitution has had 27 amendments, the first 10 being the Bill of Rights which were adopted on December 15, 1791.
In 2004, under Senator Byrd's urging, Congress changed the designation of this day to "Constitution Day & Citizenship Day" and added 2 new requirements in the commemoration of this Day:
1) The head of every federal agency provides each employee with educational and training materials concerning the Constitution on September 17th.
2) Each educational institution which receives Federal funds should
hold a program for students every September 17th.
Here's a quick flashback video from Schoolhouse Rock to refresh your memory about the Preamble. All of my fellow Gen Xers should remember this!

“My Mummy works in a school, but she's not a teacher” – my daughter, aged 7.
This got me thinking, how do I explain to my 7-and 4-year-old what I do? Answer Attempt #1: Mummy is a Storyteller.
Pretty accurate, right? One aspect of my role is having the responsibility of capturing and sharing the essence of my schools through narratives, experiences, and moments. Together with my team, we weave stories of our students, staff, and the school itself, highlighting achievements, challenges, and aspirations. And through storytelling, we bring life to the values, culture, and identity of our school, helping others to understand and connect with what makes us special. It's about painting a vivid picture of who we are and the impact we have, one story at a time.
That’s why I am incredibly proud to share the launch our Create Your Story campaign, where authenticity became the guiding principle of our brief.
Too often, we see marketing efforts focus solely on showcasing facilities, products or numbers neglecting the authentic stories that breathe life into statistics.
Our mission was clear: show, don't tell. Go take a look, let me know what you think. https://lnkd.in/ecYQUgNk#CreateYourStory#BrandStory#CreativeCampaigns#StrategicStorytelling
As Hampshire's leading academic 3-18 independent day school, we believe in more than just informing families about what our schools offer. We want to show you who we are.
We are proud to share with you our Create Your Story campaign, a collection of 70 genuine and authentic narratives that reveal the true character of our schools. Uncover the diverse passions and love of learning through stories told by those at the heart of our community: the children at Stroud, pupils at KES, and our remarkable staff.
Both King Edward's and Stroud are committed to fostering an environment where every child's journey can flourish, providing opportunities to create their own unique story.
