Being Together is based on the fact that 2020 would have been an Olympic year but the sporting event was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This was a loss for the athletes who were mentally and physically ready – a bit like us having to cope with our plans changing for the year.
The Olympic theme would have been United by Emotion – we’re exploring this in a child/youth-friendly way linked to the range of emotions we’re feeling this year such as the loss of opportunity/normality and not just bereavement. Although we’ll be tackling these serious topics, we’ll do so in a fun way so the children and young people we work with can laugh and enjoy being with their friends after such a difficult time in lockdown.
All our leaders were emailed a link to download the resources and a leaders' guide as they are exclusively for GB leaders, as are the accompanying 14 videos they point to.
GBEW leaders can also download them here
If you're a GB community group leader, please remember if you wish to start face-to-face work in September we’ll need to approve your risk assessment and COVID-19 checklist first.
