A Little Bit More Info

DIGI-space or achievement sticker journals?

Schools can choose to either purchase printed journals for young leaders, which include young active leadership achievements stickers – or deliver the programme using a personalised DIGI-space enabling young leaders to achieve online digital badges. We believe that both are equally engaging for schools and children.

Upon programme registration each young active leader will receive a registration pack, which includes:

 

  1. ID badge.
