Welcome to All Points North - an exciting new project for young people in Tyne and Wear aged 16-25.
All Points North is an innovative 12 week personal and social development programme that explores issues of cultural, citizenship, mental health and well-being.
The group meet once a week in Sunderland and Newcastle for about 2-2.5 hours to explore issues around culture, citizenship, mental health and wellbeing through the medium of group-work, media, music, sport and art.
Throughout the project young people will influence local communities through creating greater awareness of issues of concern to them, whilst working towards the Every Child Matters outcomes. Participants can also work towards achieving accreditation through the Youth Achievement Awards.
Maybe you’re a young person that wants to get involved in a diverse and exciting group or a worker that knows a young person who may benefit from All Points North?
The new programme starts early March 2011.
