The project Pupils Know How is a series of groups that adapt to each individual school and its pupils. Each one is designed by the young people themselves, based on aims they have identified during our work with them.

People Know How is a Scottish charity based in East Lothian and Edinburgh founded on the principle that ‘people know how’ to identify their needs and the solutions that will help them fulfil their potential and solve social issues. People often don’t realise that they know-how, and that’s where we come in – unlocking ideas for a better future, today.
