Through this project, Curious Minds have shown how art and creativity can be powerful media for doing that, helping young people to gain a better understanding of the issues and to develop their own skills and confidence at the same time. I was delighted to have the chance to see presentations from all of the schools featured in this booklet and hear first hand from the pupils involved. Each school chose a different approach but displayed similar levels of imagination, energy and talent. I hope others will find this booklet and DVD an inspiration to embark on similar projects in their schools.

Youth Sport Trust conducted a case study visit at Accrington Academy on Wednesday 3rd July 2019, hosted by their PE teacher, Sarah Lawson. The case study visit aimed to establish the value of Game of Our Own since Accrington had begun the programme, and highlight any short term and longer-term outcomes since its inception. Evaluation activities included observation of girls’ after-school football session, a focus group with Football Activators and attendees at the football session, and an interview with Miss Lawson as the lead PE teacher for girls’ football. Current Activities Ten “Acc-tivators” have been recruited to take part in the Game of Our Own programme across Year 7-9, all of whom attend the weekly football session led by Accrington Stanley Ladies coach, Elle Kayley. Since their programme training at the start of the year, the Activators have worked hard to think of creative ways to invite more girls to attend the sessions, including: • “Bring your friend to football” • Easter celebrations • Ticket invitations • “Acc-tivators” Instagram account which logs and promotes their weekly football activities.
