This week at Carrow Road, our Premier League Inspires programme hosted a club heat for the ‘Inspires challenge for students’ from Pakefield High School.
The social action project, which was entirely student-led, saw them tasked with creating a presentation of their ideas on how to improve Norwich City FC’s sustainability.
The panel was made up of four unbiased judges. One of these judges was Norwich City U21’s midfielder, Flynn Clarke, who would later give the students some insight into his young career and touched on stories of overcoming adversity and difficult challenges on and off the pitch.
The students, who had worked on their presentations in past Premier League Inspires workshops, presented their ideas to the judges before bravely answering some follow-up questions to test their in-depth research.
The successful sustainability pitch aimed to develop Carrow Park, the Foundation’s sports hub that sits opposite the stadium. The students proposed enhancing the green space by planting more flowers and trees and signposting waste-bins more clearly to combat littering.
The group will now go on to represent Norwich in a virtual development day in the next round, which is followed by celebration event in a Premier League Stadium in July.
