What

This session begins with what we call 'Newsround' it's where we explain the session plan, take the register and encourage the young people to take turns sharing a fun fact/joke. The session is then led by our youth workers; they conduct activities in each room. The young people choose which space is best for them. In this session all 5 of our rooms are open!

1. The Zen Den, a calm, quiet space to relax, learn how to meditate, identify emotions and have 1-1 chats with our youth workers.
2. A Sports Hall to play fun games and release excess energy in a healthy way.
3. There is an Arts & Crafts room, where you have access to endless amounts of paper, card, pens, paint, clay and funky craft items! We also have a music corner, with karaoke, keyboards, drums, guitars etc and you can learn how to make your own music.
4. There is a Games room, with Pokémon, D&D, lightsabres and there is also a large Mac computer you can play Minecraft, Dress up games etc.
5. Finally, there is The Lobby, a large open room with comfy sofas, beanbags and big blankets. It's a space for you to chill out, chat with friends and youth workers.
