Make Your Mark Blog

Original ideas can come from all kinds of places. Whether you want to address environmental issues, start a social enterprise or make your community a better place, ideas have the power to change the way we all live.
Creative Partnerships recognise that young people often have the best ideas of all: the younger we are, the more likely we are to use imagination and creativity to understand the world. Creative Partnerships have a project to encourage more young people to have brilliant ideas: Ideas that can change the world is harnessing the creativity of young people to develop ideas to change the world for the world better.

The boldest, best, life-changing, big ides will benefit from creative and professional expertise to help young people develop them and take them to the next level.
It’s a big job to ask young people to do, but we know they’re up to it! Creative Partnerships have also developed a resource to support young people as they develop ideas: an inspiring Ideas Cookbook provides lots of food for thought to help young people and their teachers develop world-changing ideas.
So what’s it all about? Essentially it’s about enterprise – it’s about being daring, thinking big, solving problems, working with others and seizing opportunities. That’s why we’re encouraging Make Your Mark Clubs to use the Ideas Cookbook to develop their own enterprising ideas.
Any school in England can take part in Ideas that can change the world by visiting: www.ideasthatcan.com or by emailing changetheworld@creative-partnerships.com The closing date for schools to submit their ideas is: 16 June 2008.
Teenagers in Make Your Mark Clubs across the UK are already sharing amazing ideas – take a look at them on the club website: www.makeyourmarkclub.org
