Project FORTITUDE
Empowering children & young people through law and play
What is this project about?
This project aims to strengthen children and young people’s 'legal capability' - or in other words, their ability to deal effectively with the many law-related issues that they encounter in their day to day lives - at home, at school and in their wider communities.
How will you do this?
We have been working with children and young people to create a digital game called Law Yeah!
This game has been designed to improve children and young people's legal knowledge, skills and confidence.
How will you know if it works?
We are inviting schools to join us in evaluating Law Yeah!
Please have a look at our Evaluation page for information.
When will you do this?
The project started in 2019 and runs for 5 years. It had to be suspended for a while because of Covid 19 so it will finish in May 2025.
Where will the research take place?
We have worked with children and young people in Leicester, Nottingham and Sheffield to develop the game and we are recruiting schools across England for the Evaluation stage.
What will happen after that?
We aim to develop a specification of the process by which these game-based resources can be adapted to be used by children and young people in other countries.
