School student activism: How and why do young people protest at school?

This event has ended.

The event will look at the history of school student protest over the last twenty years – considering how pupil motivations and protest tactics have changed over time. It will ask what leads young people to participate in protest on school grounds and how they are protesting, considering the influence of social media on the recent wave of school protests.

The event will provide opportunities for the audience to give their experiences of school protest and to ask questions to the panel about their research.
