Marc Husband replied to David Gee's discussion Young people joining the armed forces"Thanks David,

Social media and social networking sites can amplify the positives and negatives of
everyday life for young people, and can expose them to new opportunities and new risks. These online digital tools can offer a diverse range of opportunities to engage with young people and promote their participation in local youth services. Explore both how to support young people as they engage in these environments; and learn how to practically and creatively use social media and social networking to enhance the delivery of young people service(s). Objective of the training course is to enable delegates to create a practical online strategy to integrate into their work supported with a professional qualification to evidence their understanding and learning.

"Hi Tony,
Thanks for that; your youthworktoolbox website looks useful, particularly the podcasts.

I also have a mail chimp account, but I have never used it.
Awebber was not too difficult to set…"

Using Creative Assessment Tools for Practitioners at Attlee Youth & Community Centre, London E1
April 11, 2013 from 9:30am to 4:30pm
BackgroundOne of the challenges of assessment processes with young people is how to secure their involvement and active participation. Only too often assessment can become something that is ‘done’ to young people (or a form that needs to be filled in), rather than a dynamic process that puts them at the centre, something theyare involved with and have some ownership over. The assessment tools called ‘CAF Cards’ and ‘Road Sign Cards’ have been developed with young people to work with the…See More
