A framework for raising and supporting the dreams of young people in regional...Wes Heberlein
Young people in regional and rural areas of Australia are entering an ever-changing, highly technological and complex world after school. This challenging environment can limit their opportunities to successfully engage in the world of work. These significant disruptions have challenged the previously held notions of career preparedness for school students and reinforced geographical disadvantage experienced by those in regional and rural Australia. In taking a long-term outlook to future-proofing the career aspirations of the next generation, the CQUniversity Widening Participation Program designed a Learner Progression Framework for career development. The Framework supports students across upper primary and secondary school to understand challenges they face and use their increased awareness to navigate their path to the workforce. Through working in partnership with schools, programs were developed that were grounded in the four phases of the Learner Progression Framework; Introductory (Year 6 & 7), Personalised (Year 8-12), Transition (1st Year university) and Career (2nd- 4th Year university). This long-term immersive delivery of careers education programs to schools has resulted in building individual’s capacities for success in higher education. Fundamental to such careers education programs are raised aspirations and increased self-awareness. This authentic connection between the school and higher education sectors represents a genuine engagement to create a future that works for young people in regional and rural Australia through acknowledging young people’s voice and engendering confidence in their aspirations.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

2. Why Keeping Connected? The Keeping Connected Design Challenge aimed to better connect older adults to younger generations, their communities, families and each other. To achieve this, we asked schools two questions: How do older adults connect to younger people, their community and the wider world? Can you design ways to keepthem better connected?
3. How they connected The Challenge is made up of the four key stages of the design process: Stage 1: Discover Students conduct research into how older adults interact with services in order to understand and map their needs. Stage 2: Define Students create personas to focus on certain needs and, together with older adults, come up with service ideas. After voting on which service to develop, they create a brief to guide it’s development. Stage 3: Develop Students create a blueprint for their service. They work with older adults, and use personas and prototypes to test and improve it. Stage 4: Deliver Students create a storyboard to show a user’s journey through their service.

From March – June the participating schools ran the Challenge in a number of different ways:Some schools ran the Challenge solely during class timeafter school during school holidaysCommon thread that ran through all the schools was that they all worked with older adult research participants to help them develop their ideas.This approach enabled the pupils to develop authentic and relevant service ideas based on actual insight and need, rather than guess work.
5 finalists selected based these 4 criteriaDesign processWorking with older adultsFinal conceptCommunication of ideaEach school submitted a piece of work for each of the 4 stages in the double diamond. Interesting fact - 3 main themes emerged from the 15 submissionsBusses to meet and socialise Skills swap classes in the schools premisesAn electronic devise/gadget that enabled greater connectivity between older adults
Final event at Design Museum 7 July 20115 schools pitched ideas to a panel of judges
Judges on the panelMat Hunter (DC)Jackie Marshall-Cyrus (TSB)David Bott (TSB)Michael Wollf (designer)Dr. Helen Charman (head of education design museum)
Essa Academy – ‘Brainy Tech’. This service aimed to enable school pupils to teach older adults how to use IT applications (such as the internet, email and Skype) with the aim of connecting them to younger people, their family and friends.
Farnham Heath End School – ‘Strollin n Rollin’. This service aimed to bring together young people and older adults to provide local social activities, such as community walks, bike rides or group trips to cafes.
Govan High School – ‘Conekt 2 u’. Conekt 2 u was a multi-purpose 'radio' that combined traditional style design and new technology to enable older adults to access local services, phone books, diary, bus timetables and other functions, thereby enabling connectivity
Hope Valley College – ‘Super Maps’. The service aimed to deal with the problem of trying to find items in a supermarket. This led to the idea of a sat-nav for a shopping trolley. The twist in the idea is that the sat nav links shopping preferences to activities in the community. For example, if a customer bought lots of items for baking, they would receive the details of a local baking club on the till receipt.
This was the winning trophy
SNS’s idea was called ‘Enrich’. Their service idea was to bring older adults and young people together on the school premises to jointly take part in activities including cookery, dance, and gardening. The judges chose this idea as it seemed to genuinely embody the spirit of ‘keeping connected’. The idea tapped into needs of the local community, seemed easily realisable and most importantly, it would keep older adults better connected. SNS had also worked closely with a number of older adults in developing and refining their idea. SNS are going to set up their service towards the end of the 2011 using the £5,000 prize money. Dianne Abbot, the MP for Hackney and Stoke Newington, will attend the launch event.
