In this session, young people took their ideas further by turning them into clear, practical solutions.

The focus was on understanding how their ideas would actually work in real life and what is needed to make them successful.

What Young People Said

Young people shared that ideas need to be:

• Easy to understand and use

• Realistic for schools, businesses, and young people

• Clear at every step

• Supported with the right guidance

They also recognised that ideas improve when they are tested and developed over time.

What We Did

Young people worked together to bring their ideas to life by:

• Mapping out the journey of how a young person would find and use an opportunity

• Identifying what schools and businesses need to do

• Thinking about the tools and support required

• Choosing the most important features to focus on first

• Creating simple storyboards to show how their idea works step-by-step

Key Themes

• Keep it simple – Ideas should be easy to use

• Make it realistic – It needs to work in the real world

• Think about the journey – Every step should be clear

• Work together – Everyone has a role to play

• Test and improve – Ideas get better with feedback

What This Means

Young people moved from ideas to action, thinking about how their solutions could actually be delivered and used.

This helped build confidence, problem-solving skills, and a stronger understanding of how change happens.

What’s Next

The next step is to test these ideas with others, gather feedback, and continue improving them.
