Page 15 /24 This step helps document your school’s journey and allows you to keep a record of your achievements. It also provides helpful input for future planning, coaching conversations, and celebration activities. You are encouraged to involve different voice —including pupils, teachers, and support staff— in writing or shaping this summary. Tip: Keep your upload concise, honest, and focused. It doesn’t have to be perfect — just a true reflection of what your school has noticed and learned. Session 3: Celebrate Your Achievements. Why Celebration Matters Taking time to celebrate your school’s democratic journey is more than just a feel- good moment — it reinforces the values you've worked so hard to strengthen. When we pause to acknowledge progress, we build pride, strengthen community spirit, and remind everyone involved that democracy is not just a goal — it’s a shared experience worth recognising. Celebration also helps sustain momentum. It says to pupils, teachers, and families alike: “Your voice mattered. Your effort made a difference.” What can celebration look like? There’s no single formula for celebrating democratic progress. Each school can choose what feels authentic, joyful, and inclusive. Here are a few meaningful ways schools have chosen to celebrate: Democracy Celebration Day Host a special event where students share reflections, art, or performances connected to your democratic journey. Sticker or Certificate Ceremony Distribute participation stickers or coACTION certificates to classes or project groups. Display of Progress Set up a “Democracy Wall” in a visible space that shows Sensor results, student voices, and milestones achieved. Student-led Celebration
