### The six sessions are:

 

 

   We Are Here: Mapping your local community, its identity and its strengths.

 This session is all about your group and where they are – where they live, what they do, where they go. You’ll create a large map of your community and share what you love about where you live.

 

 

 

  We See: Recognising local challenges and our need for God’s hope and help.

 Time to break open the stickers! In this session your group will identify some of the challenges in your community, and look at things from a different perspective. It will also reassure them that God is with them no matter what the challenge.

 

 

 

  We Can: Exploring the strengths your group has to help others.

 Who can do a cartwheel, and who can touch their nose with their tongue? In this session your group will look at the different skills, abilities and strengths they have, and how these can be used for good – especially when combined through teamwork.

 

 

 

  We Speak Out: Identifying injustices and who has the power to address them.

 This session is about justice – seeing where things are unfair, recognising we can all make a difference and answering God’s call to step up, speak out and take action.

 

 

 

  We Will: Helping young people choose a project they can take forward.

 Young people can make a difference! In this session your group will be inspired by the stories of other young change-makers, and start to think about one big idea that they would like to work on.

 

 

 

  We Have a Plan: Preparing a clear project plan to share with church or community leaders.

 Time to make a plan and decide on the next steps to make the idea become a reality. This session should be purposeful and also a celebratory end to the course.
