Re:Action 24/7 - Year 12s & 13s
We’re really excited to be bringing you RE:ACTION 24/7, a 2-week virtual programme, starting Monday 5 July until Thursday 15 July 2021, based around themes that will support you and put your potential into action! RE:ACTION 24/7 will take place over 2 weeks, and then sessions will be available for you to watch on demand for a further 2 weeks, so if you can’t make all the sessions you want to attend then you can catch up – as long as you are signed up for the initial 2 weeks. This is a programme with a difference though – although you may be, understandably, fed up with online learning/content right now, delivering virtually has allowed us to bring a lot of people on board for this programme that is just for Bristol region students. We have some very well-known names that will be delivering sessions and talks just for you. We promise that they are well-known…from Olympians to Love Islanders…plus some local employers that you could end up working for one day! The aim of RE:ACTION 24/7 is to help you to feel confident in who you are, and for you to understand your capabilities and your potential, and therefore have confidence in what you can achieve, regardless of what your next steps are. Or maybe you don’t know what your next steps are yet, and this can help you to plan them and decide what you want to do next. Or maybe you know what you want to do next, but you aren’t sure how to get there. All of our guest speakers will be sharing with you their own lived experiences, challenges, and how they overcame these challenges. With interactive live sessions as well as content on demand, you will be able to take away invaluable information and support that will help you to navigate your future.

TABI Study (Teen Appearance and Body Image)
Young people often have concerns about the way they look. This can sometimes affect a range of things, such as their self-perceptions, their relationships with others, and how they do at school. The Centre for Appearance Research has launched a new study called TABI (Teen Appearance and Body Image) to explore young people’s experience of appearance and body image using an online survey. The TABI team are keen for all young people, with and without visible differences, to take part in their study to better understand their experiences. This will inform future research and the development of targeted support for young people who struggle with appearance-related issues. As a thank you for taking part, participants will be entered into a prize draw to win one of four £50 Amazon vouchers!
