I was so impressed with the session ran by YSE, for year 10. The girls were not only focused throughout, but also excited. Important social issues can often seem so far away to teenagers, and yet the session made the issues faced by communities across the world relevant and engaging. The hands on, interactive structure of the session meant that the girls were immersed in experiential learning. It is rare to see a session which engages the students to the degree that they were engaged in this YSE session. Well done, and thank you!
