Eton & EYLA Campaigning Workshops

Over four online workshops, eight Eton students worked alongside eight pupils from Eastside Young Leaders Academy (EYLA) to produce a campaign encouraging more people to take the Covid vaccine. These pupils from Eton and Eastside have worked to identify arguments both for and against taking the new Covid jab, how these can influence community support or rejection, and how a campaign could best work to increase vaccine take-up, especially in Black and Minority Ethnic communities. At the last workshop, the mixed groups each presented their campaign plans to an NHS nurse and Head of Social Action at Eton College.
