Let's Break The Ice!

At a lot of our groups, we start the session off with an ice breaker to encourage young people to talk to others outside their friendship groups and to help new young people get to know people better. At our session at Bournemouth, we did an icebreaker that allowed our young people to collaborate on drawings - giving young people 30 seconds to draw on a piece of paper before passing it along to the next person so they can add their addition to your work and you would receive someone else's work to also contribute to! It's always a fun ice breaker for our young people!

Bournemouth Does DIY!

At Bournemouth group, we had a volunteer interview. When volunteers come to be interviewed with Space Youth Project, they provide an activity for the young people to get involved in and so they can get to know the interviewee and fedback if they think they're a good fit! For this session, our interviewee encouraged young people to upcycle plain t-shirts through painting and fun designs - an activity the young people found very enjoyable. It's so fantastic for our young people to be involved in our recruitment process and is a testament to how youth-led our project is!

A Big Thank You!

At Sherborne group, we had a fab session making thank you cards to be sent out to current and future funders. It's a great opportunity for the young people to give back to the organisation and learn more about how the project is funded by generous organisations and individuals!
