Ripple Effect

The Ripple Effect is our flagship Secondary School programme, focused on teamwork and leadership for a selected group of 12 students (in year 8 or 9).
It is delivered by 2 of our facilitators over 3 days and is suitable for a range of students facing different challenges which may be connected to resilience, confidence, attendance, behaviour, or experiencing harms to identity.
Through circles discussions and group activities, students learn about the 3 R’s of Restorative Practice – Respect, Relationships and Responsibility.
The programme supports young people to:
Students are invited to re-imagine themselves as leaders within their school community, and to work with school staff to identify next steps and actions to ripple out their learning across their school community.

Capture

Our 3 days together are captured in the production of a very special 70-page A5 booklet recording their unique learning experience and individual certificates of recognition. These booklets and certificates are presented at a celebration event, with their peers as witnesses. This creates an opportunity for them to share and cascade their restorative learning.

“It doesn’t matter where you come from…you can be from the smallest power and the smallest place in the world. You can still make a difference, you can still be someone and do something massive.”

“I would like to remember everything that Yasmine said about racism, because I never realized how it was. I understood that it’s a terrible thing but I never really saw the massive array of how big it was, and never really brought to us down here. And it was like I’ve never really heard anything like this.”
