As part of this training we should develop a toolkit in advance of the training that youth workers can use later with the young people they work with.

Initially this training was meant to be implemented face to face, unfortunately due to Covid it now has been transitioned online. As a result the seminar days over three mornings. Dates are as follows:

- 7th September: 09:30-12:00pm GMT 

- 11th September: 09:30-12:00pm GMT 

-14th September: 09:30-12:00pm GMT 

We recommend that participants are available to attend all three workshops due to fact that we are working with small group sizes.
