Civic Society Awards Assessor
Civic Society Awards Assessor
The Birmingham Civic Society are looking for assessors to join various panels for the Next Generation Awards Programme. This is a project-based programme for teams of children aged 11 to 14, fits neatly into the Citizenship part of the curriculum at Key Stage 3 and is usually completed in around six weeks in the second or third term.
Typically teams of about 6 to 10 children work together on a structured programme, following a set pattern for the first few weeks and gradually developing their own approaches as their work evolves.
It includes asking teams of children to:
• Consider what life in Birmingham will be like when they project their lives forward by about 20 years
• Identify the issues that could be addressed to improve the quality of their lives and those of their own children
• Propose action plans for the changes that they think should be implemented
• Present their plans for assessment by a panel including leading figures from business, the professions and politics. Each presentation will be considered for the award of a Gold, Silver or Bronze Award and each pupil will receive a certificate recognising their team's achievement.
Volunteers will be required to give up either a morning or afternoon at a school participating in the programme. Further details on the programme are on the Birmingham Civic Society website.
For more information or to volunteer please contact the Community Development Committee on community@birminghamforward.co.uk.
