Student-initiated project template

A step-by-step template to help students lead meaningful participation projects in schools.

This template supports students in planning and delivering student-initiated participation projects within schools. Developed by Our Voices – Our Schools (Ireland), it encourages young people to take the lead in shaping their educational environments, while involving relevant stakeholders like staff, school management, and families. The resource includes step-by-step planning tables, a stakeholder map, and a checklist based on the Lundy model (space, voice, audience, influence). It promotes inclusive, safe, and accountable participation, making it a practical tool for youth-led democratic action.
