Lead the Way: Join the Ethical Education Student Advisory Group! 

At Educate Together, we don’t just place students at the core of what we do — we create opportunities for them to lead, shape, and inspire.

This is your chance to:

  • Lead
  • Learn
  • Make an impact

  • Take charge of areas such as:
    • Communications
    • Workshops
    • A GCE Fair
    • Social media takeovers

You won’t just take part; you’ll be co-creating and leading the way.

What’s In It for You?

  • Develop leadership and teamwork skills
  • Gain real-world experience in event planning and organisation

“Last year, I was part of the student advisory group that helped organise the Ethical Education conference called the Green Gathering. Being part of the group was an eye-opening experience for me. I got an insight into how interschool events are organised, what goes into them, and what makes a successful event. The event itself was incredible too. I was able to enjoy the conference with a sense of pride that I was one of the people that helped organise it. The people that were part of the group are some of the kindest, and wisest people I have ever met and I’m glad I met them. Overall, I loved working in the group and the conference was a very fun event to attend.”
