Celebrate YOU

An Issue based workshop programme for home educated young people

Celebrate YOU is a youth work programme of issue based workshops, that aims to encourage young people to celebrate themselves (we never big ourselves up enough!), but also to recognise difference and diversity in their local communities and further afield. The programme seeks to develop a critical awareness of the world, and to build the knowledge, attitudes, values and skills necessary to secure their equal participation in the democratic process that will enable them to bring about the changes to issues important to them, and to ensure that their voices are listened to and heard.

Celebrate YOU will support young people, individually and as a group, to:

  • Identify and understand different issues

  • To test their assumptions in a supportive environment.

  • Begin to formulate their own ideas and views by raising questions.

  • Communicate effectively with others when figuring out solutions to complex problems.

These sessions are delivered on a rolling basis, with young people able to attend stand alone sessions, or to book to attend a block. They will take part in activities, discussions, workshops and debates based around the following topics and themes:

  • Equality, diversity, inclusion.

  • Identity and belonging.

  • Mental health and wellbeing.

  • Leadership, navigating conflict and cooperation.

  • Democracy, decision making and participation.

  • Understanding your rights and advocacy.

  • Exploring safe and healthy relationships.
