‘Breaking the Silence’ is a 3-year research project, led by young people and supported by psychologists from States of Mind and The Institute of Education, UCL. The ongoing research project explores the impact that the UK education system is having on young
people’s sense of identity, wellbeing and personal growth. In this session, Tumi, Christevie and Reegan explored key themes from their research and suggested ways to reform the education system to better meet the needs of young people in the 21st Century.
