Totally Wired?
Over the next few months, Urban Saints are running a series of events aound the UK looking at how the digital and online world is changing the world of young people.... and by implication the world of youth work and schools work.

Courage
I'm doing an assembly in a new school about courage...
day of pentecost
any ideas for lunch time activity for day of pentecost in may 2008. discussions/activities /games/
7 deadly sins just not enough.
At a recent training session for priests in Rome, the Catholic church highlighted new areas of sin that should feature as part of confession along with the more traditional ideas of sloth, envy, pride etc. I wondered what young people would add to the list...or take away.
After school youth cafe ideas
Does anyone have any ideas for craft or art workshops for 12 - 15 year olds?
I'm thinking of things like glass painting, cooking workshops...pizza etc.
Lunch time with a difference
I'm exploring how to do lunch times differently...thinking about a CU for un-churched young people, not a traditional su style, but more informal with games/competitions and a 5 min short discussion/story. Maybe themed around an issue like bullying.
Resources
Partly in response to the last post and also after a conversation with another member of the schoolswork community earlier today, just wanted to flag up a couple of really great resources you may find useful in your work. Both will be added to the Resource Toolkit.
CU resources
Does anyone know of any good resources for Secondary school Christian unions to use?
Transition to Secondary
I'm looking to develop something for year 6 children for their transition to secondary school, and thinking of workshops and lessons with a Christian emphasis.
Sport
There's been some chat on here before about sports in schools and working with young people through sport, so I thought I'd share about a camp that's coming up in a couple weeks and also point out some training later on in the year for anyone involved in sport that wants to make a difference for Christ.
Extended Schools
I wanted to start a discussion about extended schools work, what work is already going on, what resources are available and what would people like to see happen?
It's all over....
Very interesting conversation in school today...!
Moving to the South
Networking. Anyone in the Worthing area?
100 caps, exams & potential
Beckham is set to get his 100th cap for England tomorrow night as he plays in the match against France. I may not know very much about sport but this seems pretty significant. The 32 year old father of 3 who now plays for Los Angeles Galaxy team is about to become only the fifth England player to ever win 100 caps. It's made me stop and think for a moment...
Detached Youth Work Policy
Have a look at this detached youth work policy for schools and tell us what you think.
