Area youth conference
13th - 15th November 2009 - Lyon's Copse Campsite
This year we are holding an
area youth conference at Lyon’s
Copse Campsite in Hampshire. The conference is open to all volunteers involved
in youth & schools in this area (both new and ‘old hands’).
We’ll be running a series
of workshops over the weekend, also they’ll be a chance for new volunteers to
learn more about the work of the Red Cross and undertake peer education
training.
> Workshops
You’ll be able to choose what sessions you’d like to
attend. For the more experienced volunteers, there is the opportunity to
run/assist run the sessions. Examples of workshops we’re planning include:
Casualty simulation, ambulance skills, HIV/AIDS, conflict awareness etc.
> Awards
There will be an awards evening to present a series of
awards to young volunteers (and adults!)
> New volunteers
This is a great opportunity for new volunteers to learn
more about the Red Cross. Please don’t
be put off if you are new! We’ll be running an introduction to the Red Cross
session and also peer education training. Plus you’ll get to meet loads of new
people.
