This field report provides an overview of the Scottish educational charity Light Up Learning (LUL). It delineates the ways in which LUL's focus on developing a love of learning in youth can positively address some of the central challenges associated with poverty-related educational inequality. The report also provides practitioners with ideas, tools and recommendations for programs that similarly want to move the focus of education away from purely economic considerations—the root of Scotland's exam-obsessed culture—towards a more expansive sense of human flourishing
