A new Transition Year programme is being rolled out in schools across the country to get students thinking creatively about ways to tackle issues such as homelessness and racism.
The Big Idea is a social enterprise aimed at bridging the gap between education and industry.
It s about big ideas and big solutions. Innovators and creatives are asking students to focus on five key areas of concern in our society today - the housing crisis, beating pandemics, ageing populations, managing the health and well-being of teenagers and combating racism.
