Little Ilford gets Negotiation-Ready


London Citizens' organisers Ben and Emmanuel went into Little Ilford to lead a negotiation training with the three Citizen Schools student teams on Friday 29th January.

The Little Ilford teams, led by Head of Citizenship Alistair Banks, are focused on three change-actions in and around the school and its community: street safe, street clean and road safe. They do what they say on the tin.

Students were given a real-life example scanrio from London Citizens' 'City Safe' campaign, took on roles of those involved (the school, council, local newspaper, church, mosque, local shops, youth club) and spent time preparing their negotiation, building the allies necessary to successfully lobby for support.

A great group of students to work with, the Little Ilford students are now ready to launch their negotiation strategy to make serious change around the school. Well done, leaders!
