This brings a fantastic new format where the focus is on youth social action on the theme of ‘Playing our part in protecting our planet’. This is an exciting national competition for young people in Key Stage 3 & 4. The Challenge offers BFCitC a great opportunity to engage with local schools and young people who are already partner schools and already involved in the Core PL Inspires Programme. We’ll work with PL Inspires cohorts to develop ideas and propose a project via a ‘club heat’. The winning idea will receive a small grant (from PL) to support the group in bringing it to life. In order to celebrate every project, all 30 Club Community Organisations delivering PL Inspires will be invited to a ‘final’ celebration event in London where a range of winners will be chosen. As part of the Premier League Inspires Challenge and working with the PFA and the PL Education department, Burnley FC scholars will be giving up their time to support this project. This could be at the club heat as judges, visiting and supporting the project planning, delivery, promo video to challenge groups. Challenge Aims The Premier League and BFCitC will: Ensure that children and young people feel inspired and engaged; Enhance the wellbeing of children and young people; Improve children and young peoples’ personal and practical skills and awareness of business and careers; Support participants engagement using the theme of football and sport to improve their attitude, relationships and behaviour to increase the ability to achieve their goals; Increase participants confidence, self-esteem, teamwork and communication skill; Support schools and alternative educational establishments to keep pupils present and committed, whilst encouraging others to re-engagement with school life; Support participants in/into training, education and employment opportunities; Create opportunities for students to give back to their school and/or local communities.
