In Wales, youth charity Plant Dewi is using the week to launch a series of radio dramas that focus on the issue of stress among isolated rural young people. The plays were developed with young people and will be featured on BBC Radio Wales and Radio Cymru over Youth Work Week.
In Ribble Valley, Lancashire, special events providing taster sessions of adventurous and sporting activities are being planned at local leisure centres. Islington is planning a health event and is recruiting young people to produce healthy snacks for the event following a similar approach at a recent successful sports day.
- An information pack for Youth Work Week is available on the NYA web site at www.nya.org.uk, and you can email details of your plans for the week to Tim Burke at timb@nya.org.uk.
