Next event:

Climate, craftivism, change: an Agents of Change Roadshow
Saturday 26 November 2022, 11am to 3.30pm
Central Methodist Church, Pontefract

Children and young people, along with their leaders, are invited to spend the day together, learning about the climate crisis and eco-justice, before moving on to explore how we can use craftivism and other techniques to influence change and make a difference in our communities and our world. Those in Years 5 and below should be accompanied by a parent/carer who can help them to engage with the craft activities.

Book here.

(Leaders must book and accompany their young people)

 

Delivered by the Children, Youth and Family Team, working with local partners, Agents of Change Roadshows each focus on a different aspect of being an Agent of Change. 

Children and young people are warmly invited to attend these events with their group leaders. They will be given a chance to explore a particular issue together, share their own stories and experiences and then make plans for how they'd like to respond to what they've heard, discussed and learned. 

Each event is free to attend - although leaders will have to book tickets for their groups and are asked to make the arrangements for travel to and from the Roadshow. Leaders will also be responsible for the care of their group whilst at the event, so please ensure you book at least two leaders' tickets per group and have at least one leader for every six young people you bring, to ensure a safe event.

These events will also be delivered in collaboration with the wider Methodist Church initiatives of Justice, Dignity and Solidarity and Walking with Micah.

Details of the events, and registration links, will appear below as we have them (and we'll also announce them in The Well News, which you can sign up to receive here). If you have any specific questions, please contact Lynne in the Children, Youth and Family Team.

 

 

PAST EVENTS

 

This Event is Anti-racist: an Agents of Change Roadshow
Saturday 26 March 2022, 11am to 3.30pm
Wesley's Chapel, London

This roadshow was an opportunity for young people, aged 8 to 17, to gather, share their experiences, hear other people’s stories, and be encouraged to think about how they and the Methodist Church might respond. During the day we also partnered with those participating in the online event ‘Striving for Justice’ – which was being hosted as part of the wider Methodist Justice, Dignity and Solidarity strategy.
