We have our tenth event on June 21st at Rochester Cathedral. We are celebrating ‘Ten’ and using the Parable of the Lost Coin as our theme. If you remember the Crystal Maze, then you will really enjoy this next event as there will be Crystal Maze challenges all over the cathedral with our usual mix of worship, teaching, café and the rest! It starts at 6pm and is a free event.
Good Childhood Conference
The Director of the Board of Education is organising a day conference with the author of the Good Childhood Inquiry on Wednesday 24th June at the Ramada Hotel in Maidstone. If you have come across this report that The Children’s Society have undertaken you will know that it is the most comprehensive research study into childhood that has ever been done and this conference will seek to impart some its findings and wisdoms with implications for practice in our communities.
There is a special price of £10 for youth workers which includes coffee, lunch, the conference and a free copy of the book published by Penguin. I have attached the flyer with this email. Please do come. You can book by emailing sarah.cabella@rochester.anglican.org with intention to come and pay. Cheques for £10 to be paid to Rochester Diocesan Board of Education or RDBE will be do and can’t be sent to the address at the bottom of this email.
Training days
There are a couple more Springboard training days coming up in June and July. All the training days we have had this year have been very successful and all those who have attended have managed to get a lot out of them. My thanks to you youth workers who have been involved in the delivery of these, the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive.
The final two are Transitions on Saturday 27th June at 10am to 12.30pm. Owen Smith will be leading this day. Cost £5 which includes refreshments, resources and handouts.
The final training day is on July 11th which is our Open Day. This is where we pull out all our books and equipment and let people see what we can offer in lending and hiring out resources. There will also be two workshops, one on an aspect of children’s work and the other on youth work. This is free, so please do tell people about it and encourage them to come along to Rochester for a day for a browse and some cake! No need to book, just turn up!
