Personal Development
Fair Futures develops projects and educational materials and works in partnership with national and regional organisations and funders to offer high-quality, engaging personal development and enrichment activities for children and young people. These promote children's development into responsible, resilient and active citizens, with respect for others and themselves. Our projects offer opportunities for young people to mix with others from different social and cultural backgrounds and with people of different ages and experiences, to better understand their local community and the wider world and to engage in shared endeavour to improve their community for all who live there.
Schools Linking involves people from different backgrounds sharing time and experiences, developing ideas and facing challenges together. Reducing prejudice and challenging stereotypes takes more than just bringing people together: our work with The Linking Network is rooted in research around intergroup contact. ‘Linking’ provides opportunities for meaningful positive social contact.
This project includes workshops focusing on identity and community cohesion in which KS2 children explore artwork and commentary created by newcomers to Bury and then create their own. What can you see from your window? How do you feel about it? How could you improve it? Find out more
