The purpose of this Shape Up phase is to establish a dialogue about the overall topic for Shape Up: eating and body movement in relation to health and wellbeing.

Can 'Shape Up' pupils - guided by teachers and other Shape Up adults - bring about changes in health-related living conditions? What do pupils learn by initiating these kinds of changes?

Roger Hart developed a model, the Ladder of participation, which contains eight steps, each step representing increasing degrees of pupil participation and different forms of cooperation with adults.

In the Investigation phase, the topics and issues that are selected in the previous phase are being investigated in depth. Pupils should, with the help of the teacher, come up with ideas as to what they want to do and how (i.e. methods of investigation).

A tip for involving parents and others.

The Vision phase that follows the Investigation phase aims to develop alternative solutions to the problems selected and investigated.
