Young people will gain information and knowledge in a fun and friendly atmosphere which is run by young people for young people. Domestic Violence:
1 in 10 adults will be experiencing domestic violence and 1 in 10 children will be living with domestic violence this year in Britain. Research also informs us that 3 women in Britain are killed by a male partner each week. Domestic violence happens in same sex relationships and by women to male partners, yet is mostly inflicted by men against female partners. So what is domestic violence? Why does it happen? What support is there for young people? And, why is it an issue for young people to learn about? This workshop will answer these four questions, using real-life information. Jungle Fever:
This session will explore issues surrounding stereotyping, and how diversity should be valued. Young People will be given limited information and resources, and with these, they will have to make a decision about who they will rescue and why… The problem is not everyone can be saved!!! Islamaphobia:
This workshop will explore the negative perceptions and stereotyping of Muslims. This is an opportunity for young people to openly look at Islam and the everyday life of Muslims. The workshop will be delivered by young British Muslims who will share their experiences and provide answers to some of the most common misconceptions and stereotypes about Islam and Muslims. |
