About this challenge
This Oracy Challenge aims to support students to talk openly and articulately about their own mental health, promoting a positive culture of classroom talk. We know that mental health is a big focus in schools, and that it is more important than ever that students know how to use their voice in order to build successful relationships, express their feelings and talk through difficulty.
Watch this video from one of The Firefly Project's youth voice officer Teigan explaining why this challenge is so important.
