STAY+
  Realisation: 2021–2023

STAY+ is a project to gamify positive behaviours of young people during the pandemic and beyond. It seeks to provide an innovative solution for VET professionals that have found it challenging to engage young people (aged 15-21 years old) through the transition to online/distance learning.

It specifically looks to promote positive behaviours that protect learner wellbeing and have an overall improvement on retention rates.

The project is based on the Stay mobile interactive site that has piloted a rewards scheme for young people adhering to the COVID-19 UK government guidelines to #StayAtHome, driving positive action and behaviours.

Outputs STAY+ are based on best practice, research and development and sustainability.
