The Our Future Derby project has engaged more than 12,500 children and teachers through a range of dynamic and inspirational career-related learning activities involving exciting volunteers from a wide variety of sectors and backgrounds. Activities are interactive and engaging helping children to broaden their horizons of future possibilities, tackle potential stereotypes about the jobs people can do based on their backgrounds, and see the relevance of their learning.
The newly published evaluation by Deirdre Hughes of dmh associates followed the impact of the project on children taking part. The research demonstrates clear evidence that these activities do help children to broaden their horizons and increase their confidence and belief that they can do a range of jobs.
