In today’s session, we explored the world of youth led social action and how it can address important local issues! Here’s a quick summary:
✨ What we covered:
Importance of Social Action: How taking action can create positive change in our communities.
Brainstorming Projects: Students had a go a designing their own social action projects focused on specific local issues.
Collaborative Planning: Teams worked together to plan their projects, set tasks, and define goals.
🎉 Activities we enjoyed:
"I Am a Tree": A fun drama based activity that got everyone thinking creatively— making nature themed tableaux round animals and environments (bird, dog, river, etc.).
Designing Projects: Students brainstormed ways to address these local issues such as littering, smoking, and illegal fishing. Ideas ranged from community litter picking to writing articles/blogs and creating posters to raise awareness!
👏 What went well:
A few great project ideas emerged: more bins, campaigns around illegal fishing and community clean-up! 🌍
🌳 Next week, we’ve planned a visit to meet Martha Noakes, the Fresh Water Officer for White Cliffs Countryside Project - get ready to learn more about local water issues! 🌊
