A key part of the YCW Movement is the process of gathering together in prayer, reflection and discussion. Our groups are where young leaders and chaplain use the SEE, JUDGE and ACT Method, run through thematic and open enquiries and develop their leadership skills.
Because of this, the YCW National Team wanted to do as much as we could to help facilitate the return to group meeting. The easiest and safest way we can do this is virtually.
Therefore, we are developing a helpful guide to using virtual platforms for meetings, as well as specific online safeguarding tools to ensure it can be done safely.
Alongside this, we will produce some new resources to help kick start some discussions around Covid 19, lockdown and the range of impacts young people will face in the recovery.
Marc Besford, National President of the YCW, said: “For many of our young leaders, virtual meetings will mean they can get back into their group work and leadership development sooner rather than later. There are going to be so many challenges facing young people across the country, so giving them a space to share their experiences and speak up is essential. I’d encourage any Group interested to get in touch and let us know if there is anything the National Team can do to help.”
