I loved doing this innovation challenge, because it was an opportunity for us as children to share our ideas about ways to save the world, which would make everyone very happy. It was good because there were no limits on ideas. We could draw diagrams and make models which makes it easier to explain the ideas and how they work. I loved that Elaine was very positive and encouraging." James, 10 years old

How does Create Your Innovation Challenge training work?
During the 3-hour online workshop you will explore how to design and run an innovation challenge with the children and youth you work with. I will explain the process, with time for Q&A as we go, talking you through the lesson plans and challenge templates.
You will follow in the workbook and start creating a first version of your challenge to test. We will also reflect on the reactions you can expect at different stages of the challenge process and how to handle them. I will link the process to the underpinning theory of innovation and wellbeing.
We will work through from concept to delivery, and I will guide you to a proven tool for measuring youth wellbeing to use as a way to measure the positive impact of running the challenge.
