Participation<br />
Update:<br />
Participation Training:<br />
<strong>In</strong> the BB we believe very much in the<br />
everyday participation of young people<br />
and children in decision making, and<br />
we particularly want to look at how we<br />
can work in new ways to do <strong>this</strong> in<br />
local groups. This training course is<br />
designed to enable leaders to share<br />
good ideas and to develop awareness<br />
and knowledge of how to use<br />
participation effectively in their<br />
companies. By attending you will . . .<br />
Understand what is really meant by<br />
“participation” at company, battalion<br />
and national levels<br />
Become a champion of participative<br />
working by understanding why it is the<br />
key to good youth work, and<br />
Become confident in how to use<br />
participation techniques and methods<br />
in your BB work<br />
If you are committed to involving<br />
young people in shaping the future of<br />
your company or are just curious to<br />
hear more, then you would be very<br />
welcome to come to <strong>this</strong> training<br />
event. We promise it will be fun,<br />
informative and will definitely help you<br />
to transform the way you work with<br />
young people!<br />

Impact Gap Year:<br />
Impact is a Gap Year opportunity<br />
brought to you by the BB in<br />
partnership with Time For God (TFG).<br />
If you’re over 18 have time on your<br />
hands and want more than a 9-5 job or<br />
university, then we’ll help you live your<br />
faith, travel, and make a difference in<br />
the BB. This includes the possibility of<br />
spending a month in Kenya, and the<br />
rest of the year spent working in the BB<br />
at National, District, Battalion and<br />
company level in the UK. The Gap Year<br />
is not a year of slave labour, but a wide<br />
ranging experience that might just<br />
change your life! Every participant will<br />
be fully supported and trained, but also<br />
given plenty of opportunity to develop<br />
their own ideas. Anyone who might be<br />
interested in <strong>this</strong> opportunity please<br />
lookout for more information on the<br />
BB website or contact Phil Lund (BB:<br />
UK Participation Worker) for more<br />
information on 01213335868 or at<br />
