Liverpool | Make A Difference Challenge Regional Kick Start Day | 19th June 2026

Our summer term Kick Start Days are led by experienced Young Citizens staff, introducing pupils and their teachers to the power of child-led social action. These multi-school events hosted at our 4 regional venues are a chance for our team to take you and your pupils through the pillars of great social action, and leave with a project for your school and community.

During the day, pupils will reflect on their local community, identify an issue that matters to them and develop realistic solutions. They’ll leave having confidently pitched their ideas, with a clear action plan to take forward at school. The day is fully facilitated and requires no preparation in advance. After, staff gain easy-to-use tools that support Citizenship, pupil voice and Ofsted’s Personal Development judgement.

Who can attend: KS2 classes (10 – 30 pupils) accompanied by their class teacher (Recommended for Year 5 & 6 – but speak to us if you’d like to bring another year group!)
Cost: Free for participating schools (full programme costs £150)

Joining the Kick Start Day has been designed as the perfect launch for participating in Make A Difference Challenge, Young Citizens’ flagship primary social action programme which gives pupils the opportunity to investigate a local issue they care about and take meaningful, community rooted action.
