Further information will follow next month, including how to book on to a range of free classes which will offer all ages and abilities to access dance. If you would like to know more please see here. 

 

Young People's Research Into Social Isolation Workshop

A group of young people have been working with Connecting Youth UK, Fotonow and Belong in Plymouth to deepen their understanding on how to prevent social isolation in young people. They have now created a 15 minute film and workshop to be able to build conversations with leaders and members of Community, Statutory Services and Health about how this insight that they have gathered can be used to influence decision making in the future. They will then take their additional findings from discussions with those of us working in Plymouth to a workshop in March at Westminster and attended by MPs.

 

They warmly welcome you to the following workshops:

• Tuesday 4^th February 6pm-8pm at the Plot, Union Street, Plymouth.
• Tuesday 25^th February 6pm-8pm, City College Plymouth.

With a third one at the Council House, Plymouth during half term, day time (date and time to be confirmed).
