MY WEEK!!

Hey Guys!! Rebecca here with an update of what happened at My Week!! Something that i help facilitate in....

Well on the 7th till the 11th of June 2010 myself and Alex were invited to attend MY WEEK which is run by Connexions and NEET. We actually got this chance by attending the stakeholders meeting on the 2nd to be part of My Week.

So, on the Monday, we had introductions, we meet the team and did some ice-breaker exercises with them. The day, followed by a lovely lunch, the young people got together and decided with staff that they wanted form the following few days.

Tuesday the young people went to Mile End to do wall climbing as group activity.

Wednesday the young people were taken to Landbrourne End activity centre.

Thursday the young people were taken to Gearies to have a look around the institute and get a feel for what is available for them. They were then given techniques on interviews and what to do during interviews, how to behave and so on. Here Randy joined me and we did a 1-2-1 with some of the young people and discussed how they could improve there answers or there demeanor when being in an interview. They were then taken to Connexions to make films with an organisation.

Friday, the young people stayed at Loxford Youth Centre where they were able to complete and amend CV's and cover letters. Alex and myself also gave a presentation about the YAT and the Summer Uni workshop that we will be holding at Ilfoirmation!! We then went to Nandos to have food!! (paid for bt Connexions :D)

Overall, this was a great week where we learnt about how other organisations work and what they are doing to help young people be more productive with their lives. More updates coming soooon!!!!

Have a great week :D
