About Gen+

Gen+ is a registered Scottish charity with programmes designed to deliver on the Scottish Government’s vision for education: ensuring children and young people acquire a broad range of skills and capacities at the highest levels. Gen+ is a meta-skills programme available to learners in every classroom across Scotland. Gen+ provides a comprehensive meta-skills education through two unique programmes for learners P6-S3 and their teachers, Gen+ Learn and Gen+ Teach. These meta-skills (communication, collaboration, initiative, leadership, resilience, organisation, adaptability, creativity and critical thinking) are the foundation of the Gen+ programme. Our vision is to equip and inspire the next generation through supporting learners to develop crucial meta-skills, so they have the ability and confidence to learn, lead, and thrive.

Budget: Flat Fee, per annum subscription, ranging from £150 to £250 for the Primary courses, and £750 to £2000 for the Secondary courses – both dependent on school roll size.

Why this award?

Building on their Trailblazer foundation, learners continue applying, honing and articulating their meta-skills strengths in the Gamechanger course.

They refine their abilities to contribute to and work more effectively within teams, as groupwork opportunities increase in their real lives.

And as they become more involved in their communities at school and beyond, the Gamechanger course builds their confidence to take initiative and demonstrate leadership to make a positive social impact.
