Wigan Wave

• We want to create the biggest wave ever seen at

  hand above their heads. Then we would like the
  row behind them to do the same. Then we will go
  from side to side

Our experience of Participation

• Participation is about effective Youth work
  practice
• You dont have to be a Youth Worker to be
  effective
• To be effective needs to happen for the right
  reasons
• Needs to be young person centred
• Participation has a ripple effect on Young
  Peoples lives

What we need from a participation worker is -

• An outside point of view
• Support with group dynamics
• To Hear and Listen to what we say
• To actively promote and be an advocate for our
  service
• To provide an effective professional environment
  to work from.
• To supply us with information about new
  opportunities
