Stage it! by Junior Achievement Isle of Man gives 11 to 13 year-olds the chance to plan and run their own event.
Students are split into teams of four or five within their classroom and explore everything from marketing and advertising to budgeting and break-even. They research what audiences want, choose an act and build a realistic event plan - including costs like travel, venue and promotion.
They then calculate ticket prices to ensure their event is profitable, developing real-world skills in teamwork, communication, creativity and decision-making along the way.
The programme finishes with group presentations, where students pitch their event through posters and creative ads like radio, YouTube Shorts or TikToks - judged by peers and teachers, with the overall winner awarded a prize.
