Some of these examples come from the work of Mulberry Schools Trust in recent years.  These are the type of opportunities that Mulberry Schools Foundation will extend to partner schools and communities nationally and internationally.

Innovating for change

…to enhance equality and social justice and open doors for young people and communities experiencing disadvantage, so building their capacity to make a difference to their world.

Thought Leaders

The Foundation launched its work to challenge and develop thinking in 2018 with a two-year “Thought Leader Residency” from Jude Kelly, former Artistic Director of the Southbank Centre and Founder of the Women of the World Foundation. Jude led a series of four events which enabled Tower Hamlets school students to generate, debate and celebrate their ideas and priorities on issues such as gender equality; race, masculinity and equality; Britishness and identity. The outcomes fed into a range of events in participants’ home schools where similar debates led by students resulted in commitments to action for change.

Research

The Foundation will conduct and commission research into areas of concern for the charity, making an international contribution to educational improvement, policy and knowledge. Research will particularly focus on the potential contribution of education to the advancement of equality and social justice and will draw on the voices and experiences of young people and other communities less often heard.
