Jigsaw x Real Direction Competition

Young voices. Real stories. One powerful film.

Lights, camera, student voice!

The Jigsaw x Real Direction competition gives secondary schools the chance to turn a student-relevant PSHE, safeguarding, wellbeing, relationships or online safety idea into a professionally produced educational video.

Schools take part in four short filmmaking masterclasses to develop their idea before submitting a proposal. One winning school will then work with Jigsaw and Real Direction to bring their idea to life, with students involved in the production. It’s a chance for young people to have their voices heard and create something that could help others too.
