I heard about this project from my YorKash group leader and it sounded like a great idea.
In our first meeting we did a few exercises just to get the ball rolling and to help us with our understanding of what our role was, who else was involved in the project, and how we were actually going to achieve everything.
The first activity we did was to understand who was involved and how, we used a ball of string to illustrate this, we stood in a circle and were assigned the titles of various parties concerned, including the council, council services and young people, then passed the string around from person to person to show how they were linked and we ended up with an understanding of just how interlinked all the groups were and a big tangle of string!
We finished the meeting with an exercise in which we paired off and wrote on big sheets of paper 'what facility we are we trying to create and why will it be world class?', 'what will young people get from the centre? and why do we need it?' and 'how will young people have there say?'
I really enjoyed the couple of hours we spent doing all this and will definitely be back next week :)
