Share Your Voice: What Should School Be Like?
The AEWM National Conference at Birmingham NEC on 15 October 2025 will focus on pupil voice and child-centred approaches to improving school attendance.
As part of this, Essex Youth Service is creating a video for the conference. In our film, we want to highlight what young people feel the school experience should be like.

“In your view, what should the school experience be like for young people?”

Important to know
- Your video may be included in the final film shown at the conference, but we cannot guarantee every video will be used.
