What is the CoppaFeel! Challange?

The CoppaFeel! Challenge is a one week awareness challenge created specifically for students at sixth form and colleges. 5 students have to work together as a team and develop a breast cancer awareness campaign. The aim of your campaign? Spread CoppaFeel!’s breast cancer awareness and checking message – we want young people to know that breast cancer is relevant to them and that they should be checking their chest regularly. You can do this through a traditional, digital or social media campaign – it’s your choice. We just want you to engage your peers with creative and engaging content that puts the importance of chest checking in the spotlight.

With our training and resources, you’ve got one week during November to reach as many young people and get them to complete CoppaFeel!’s Self-Checkout. You’ll be competing with local schools in your area and the team with the highest number of users to the Self-Checkout will be crowned the winners! But for the runners up, don’t worry, they will still be winning prizes!
