With our many years of experience, and huge amounts of positive energy, our Membership Programme for Schools is designed to help inspire young people in secondary schools in a multitude of ways. From learning to grow their own food in an eco-friendly way to using recycled materials to creating awesome things, along with helping schools to physically create allotments that serve as place to support mental wellbeing; our charitable work (more youth work) is ultimately about helping young people to feel more confident about themselves as people. We are far more interested in growing self-esteem than growing the largest carrot in Norfolk shall we say! Creating a positive experience, and one that is memorable, is really our primary goal.
As an educational charity we offer a huge amount of enthusiasm and determination to help inspire young people at secondary schools and colleges in Norfolk. Below is a overview of what schools and colleges, who follow our Membership Programme for Schools, can receive from The Papillon Project.
Helps boost self-esteem
Celebrating young people and valuing their contributions is so very important!
Supports mental wellbeing
Being outside, in nature, is proven to be a great way of improving mental health
Life skills
Learning to grow food, basic DIY and problem solving are really important life skills gained by gardening.
Inspires mindfulness
Gardening helps connect young people to nature and helps them to see the world through nature's perspective.
Inspiring the next generation
If a positive experience of gaining can be forged during teenage years, there's hope that young people will continue 'giving a grow' when they reached adulthood.
