RESEARCH AND INSIGHTS
The 2024 StreetGames #NextGen Residential took place at Brathay Hall, Ambleside in the Lake District from the 28th October to 1st November 2024.
It provided an opportunity for young people who have been volunteering in their local communities, to attend a five-day young leader development programme.
The event was organised and run by StreetGames in partnership with staff at the Brathay Trust and supported by a team of six StreetGames Young Advisors.
The aim of the programme was to reward the young volunteers, provide them with a range of new experiences and specifically enhance:
- The skills development of the young volunteers in terms of leadership, communication and teamwork
- The personal skills of the young volunteers in terms of confidence, self-esteem and helping them to face their fears
- The social skills of the young volunteers, in terms of making friends, having fun and creating links with different projects.
These aims were designed to create a legacy, with the young volunteers taking the skills acquired through the training back to their local communities and applying them to the great work they do.
