The Community Rail Education Network met on Thursday 15 August to share ideas and resources for the 2024-25 Backtrack Competition. The creative anti-trespass competition is currently in its fifth year, and the winning entries will form part of a Rail Safety Week broadcast in collaboration with Learn Live. The session focused on how members can engage with and encourage young people in their area to get involved.

The next Education Network session will be held on Wednesday 18 September, 10-11am, where attendees will have the opportunity to explore the different kinds of resources and mediums that can be used during educational sessions with young people.

All notes, resources and recordings from previous meetings are available to view on the Education Network website. 

The Education Network is open to anyone with an interest in railway education. If you would like to join the Network and attend any of the upcoming meetings, or if you have any education or youth engagement matters you would like to discuss, please contact Karen.
