Whether it's stewarding at a festival, writing for a magazine, or producing works of art, volunteering for creative projects is bound to get those juices flowing.

Let's connect!

Let's Connect is a project set up by High Oak Youth Group working with Enlight Youth Group and is a Youth In Action project.  Enlight is a youth group formed by young people, community members and professionals from Dudley in the West Midlands. Enlight aims to create innovative programmes to engage young people in order to allow them to have new experiences, gain qualification and skills, become active citizens in their communities and make a positive difference to their lives and the life of others around them.

As part of many projects designed to help young people gain experiences and new skills, Let's Connect was set up. The main aim of the project is to help young people learn about social networking and media in a safe environment.  We want young people to be able to understand how social media is used in today's world and how it can be used in a positive and creative way to help them and others in the community.

As part of the project young people will work with trainers to develop Facebook pages, podcasts, blogs, twitters and videos which will be shared amongst other young people. We have already created Facebook pages and twitter accounts for our youth group (Enlight Youth Group) where we share information and put new announcements. We have also done videos of other projects we did throughout the summer and all this help us connect with more people showing them all the good work we are doing for the community.

In the future we aim to use 'Let's Connect' project to share our social media skills and experience with other young people across the UK and around Europe.
