Why is opportunity important to you?
Happy National Walking day… get your little booties on and get going on a hike or a brisk walk.
Did you know walking boosts mood, strengthens bones, and lowers the risk of chronic disease?
Take a step away from your desk today and boost your mood and creativity!
Don’t forget to send us a picture of the trails you walk or the small finds you encounter 🪨

Meet one of our Team!
Anne is often hidden away behind the scenes at The Ideas Foundation, but absolutely loves all things numbers and data.
Without Anne, the @panteneuk partnership #PowerofHair school programme might have looked very different.
She’s currently working on refining our free teaching resources to ensure their palatable for Primary schools, whilst simultaneously making sure we’re all organised!
Our link in bio has all the free teaching resources you’ll need…

Today, on #WorldPoetryDay, we celebrate the power of poetry to illuminate, inspire, and connect. Join us as we champion the young voices shaping tomorrow through the art of poetry. 📖✨
We’re celebrating the power of poetry by championing the young creatives and facilitators that have taken part in The Ideas Foundation @panteneuk #PowerofHair, The Ideas Foundation UCB #CreatingConnections and archived workshops.
At the Ideas Foundation, we’ve collaborated with poets Toni Peters, @adisapoet and @adekolapoetry to enlighten students on Afro-hair discrimination, well-being coping strategies and how to explore identity through the creative writing process.
Through poetry students have the tools to navigate unprecedented challenges by relating to prose, creating stanzas and starting conversations.

“Projects like these give me so much hope for future generations of autistic and ADHD people; both in getting into creative industries and in learning to accept and love who they are. Having their perspective of the world listened to and elevated in all its wonderful, hilarious, and beautiful variety.”
- A student’s take on the Falkirk macrophotography workshop with @dgilliver , @ionasorbiedesign_ and @peterjscottart that produced amazing insights into the neurodivergent experience.
Massive thank you to @canonuk @canonemeapro and @adampensotti for lending equipment for students to be able to learn and grow.

On this International Women’s Day, let’s throw it back to National Science and Engineering Week Queen Mary University of London by championing diversity and empowerment! This workshop offered valuable insights into breaking stereotypes about who can be an engineer. Remember, anyone can be an engineer; there’s no one-size-fits-all image. Let’s inspire inclusion by supporting girls and young women in STEM fields.
