And finally, here’s the fourth and last core value of the #RiseProject !! ⭐️ Ultimately, what I want out of this project expands to becoming better individuals for society which can take place by going beyond what the curriculum teaches from a place of empathy and support 🌍❤️

Reminder ‼️ Probably one of the busiest times of the year for students, and wether you’re sitting SQA exams, finishing deadlines for college or university… It’s important to take care of yourself, pause and keep hydrated! #RiseProject #selfcare

✍️ #SQAResults can feel like the be-all and end-all, but whatever young people's results are, there are loads of people who can help, as well as lots of places to find support We've compiled a list of resources for young people 👇 young.scot/get-informed/w…

🏫 As young people across Scotland go back to school this week, we need decision-makers to take a rights-based approach to education ✏️ To do this, we should embed Article 29 of the UNCRC into the system to give young people an education that fully develops them #SYPCampaigns

As pupils return to school after the holidays, it is crucial that decision makers continue to follow a rights based approach to education. This becomes more important when it comes to young people of colour who can be more vulnerable in facing inequalities. ✊🏾📚 #SYPCampaigns
