We’re currently evaluating a project called Our Say Our Way and we have two offers for you in return for helping us (and you don’t even have to know what it is to get them):
- Enter a draw to win one of three £20 Amazon vouchers
- Get a day’s free action workshops for a youth group this summer
1. Entering the draw
To enter the draw all you need to do is spend a few minutes filling out a short survey about youth and community projects. It doesn’t matter if you have loads of experience of them or none, whether or not you’ve been part of Our Say Our Way or how old you are; we’re looking for a real range of views.
The survey is here: http://www.oursay-ourway.co.
Please pass it on to your colleagues and young people you work with.
2. Free action workshops
If you can get a group of at least ten 12 to 21 year-olds together this month, our expert trainers will run workshops for them based on the Our Say Our Way model. These will get them to:
- Work as a team
- Identify issues in their community
- Work out solutions
- Plan their actions
- Manage a project
All participants will receive a certificate and your youth group will have a plan (or plans) for some positive action in your community.
There is only funding for two sessions, so please email asher@involver.org.uk or call Asher on 07989497491 straight away if you would like to take part.
About Our Say Our Way
Our Say Our Way is an exciting project which encourages young people to have a say on the issues that affect them.
Led by Peabody and sponsored by the Big Lottery Fund, it gives 12-21-year-olds a voice and a chance to have their say about the decisions that impact their lives and their local community. They can then make a positive difference to themselves and others around them.
