Our vision for the Resilience Rucksack initiative was that young people transitioning from primary to secondary school will receive a rucksack at school Resilience Fairs into which they can put tools and items of their choice that research has identified as beneficial for adolescent’s mental health and wellbeing.

Design the Resilience Rucksack competition

In June-July 2023, we ran a ‘design the resilience rucksack’ competition. Our Steering Consultation group put forward the suggestion that the young people themselves could design the Resilience Rucksack, which we thought was a fantastic idea. We therefore set up a competition for young people to design the rucksack/bag that they thought pupils in Years 6 and 7 would find most appealing and fun to use. See below for our competition flyer:
