As part of the #SLD25 celebrations, the University of Greenwich hosted a powerful Challenging Inequality event led by Outreach Project Leader Elanor.
Schools from across the borough came together for a day of meaningful activities, giving students space to reflect on Stephen’s life and legacy, share their voices, and explore how we can tackle inequality across different sectors of society.
The university also welcomed students from Plumstead Manor School for a hands-on experience of what it’s like to study animation, with creative workshops that opened minds to new possibilities.
Support us in continuing to create experiences that inspire and empower the next generation.

In celebration of #SLD25 and in partnership with the Stephen Lawrence Day Foundation, Louis Howell from 7PK @7pktribe visited Year 10 students at Heston Community School @hestoncommunityschool for an impactful Revolution Hive @revolutionhive session focused on unlocking potential.
Through their flagship programme, Core Beliefs and Raising Aspirations, students explored the limiting beliefs holding them back and learned how to break through their personal ceilings. From identifying their unique selling points to building confidence and vision boarding their future, the session gave them practical tools to shape their path to success.

The day focused on building communication and confidence through a hands-on introduction to entrepreneurship, covering everything from product development and marketing to revenue, profit, and teamwork.
