A big thanks to Morrisons and especially Pam and Sophie at Morrisons for there very generous donation of refreshments. These will be used at our free youth groups and at our free Space Family Day and will be enjoyed by all.
At Poole group this week the young people were given an ice breaker task to write on the inside of a mask what they each thought about themselves. They then all had to put the masks on, and get the other young people to write how they saw that person on the front of the mask.
This was a fab way of getting the young people to see themselves how others do, and it got them all engaged and talking to each other about what had been written on their masks.
Space Youth Project were given the wonderful opportunity to take our young people to Studland and engage in a variety of fun activities with the National Trust.
During our day out at Studland beach we helped out with the forest wildlife by getting rid of invasive species of plants. We used metal 'slashers' to cut down the weeds which everyone found very fun.
We then were invited to join a 'find your tree' activity where we were blindfolded and introduced to a tree. The blindfold was then removed and we had to find that tree using our other senses which was a great way to observe nature from a different perspective.
We then had a fascinating discussion about Studland's history under the shade while enjoying some garlic bread. This was a great opportunity for young people to get involved and learn about Studland and the amazing work that they are doing for the environment.
This amazing day out would not have been possible without the support of the National Trust, our wonderful youth workers and the friendly volunteers.
We then went down to the beach and enjoyed digging, making sandcastles, burying each other and paddling in the sea. The weather was great and it was a lovely experience to interact with young people from other SYP groups in such a relaxed environment.
