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?

At the start of their secondary journey, learners develop and embed robust knowledge and understanding of meta-skills.

The Trailbazer course equips them to become confident and clear communicators, well-organised and prepared for the increased demands of school life and extracurriculars.

They leave Trailblazer feeling ready to handle the new challenges and changes of this school chapter with resilience.
