A Source of Inspiration

A Celebration of Scotland’s Enterprising Young People

During November, teachers will be encouraged to celebrate and showcase the exciting and enterprising approaches that exist in classrooms throughout Scotland.

This resource has been created to support schools during your month-long celebration.  Due to the popularity of last year's themed weeks, these have been continued this year to further demonstrate that enterprising approaches apply across the curriculum.  This year's celebrations take on a Homecoming Scotland theme within all of the celebrations and we would encourage you to do the same.

The themes for 2009 are:

• Week 1 - Science and Technology (2-6 November)
• Week 2 - Communications (9-13 November)
• Week 3 - Global Entrepreneurship (16-20 November)
• Week 4 - Scotland’s Past, Culture and Heritage (23-27 November).

Celebrations shouldn’t just be limited to these themes as this is an excellent opportunity to celebrate all the exciting and inspiring things that are happening in schools.

In this resource you will find examples of events you can run in your school, top tips on getting good press coverage and a variety of downloadable templates to help you in the planning process.
