“We have been involved in the Inspire Aspire programme for many years – I feel that the programme enables young people an opportunity to look at themselves in terms of developing their qualities and identifying them too. It encourages pupils to consider aims and ambitions for the future and plan how they might bring about change to build a better community / world.”

“By taking part in the Inspire Aspire programme, I have learned a lot more about myself; I now have a clearer understanding of my own opinions and feelings which is something that I never considered before. Most importantly it has helped me focus on my goals for the future, to be the best possible person I can be. So one day I can be an inspiration to young people.”
Ella – Pupil at St. Colms High School
“From taking part in this project I have learned more about myself and what I really want from life. This has helped me realise what I really want to achieve and given me motivation to reach those goals. It makes me think about who I am and what I am.”
Jordan - Pupil at Ross High School
“This programme offers young people the opportunity to think about what they want out of life - an opportunity to reflect on their values and a way of being - it is not just about words on a page, you can see the impact that it has had on them, and the change is amazing."
Professor Kay Livingston
“A real opportunity for the children to focus on themselves within their families, school community and indeed the global community. Looking at inspirational figures and the diverse range they found, provided an opportunity for children to identify with real people – ‘normal’ people who made a difference or were simply ‘inspirational’.”
