The Gozo Youth Summer Programme – Midweek Team sessions, which were organised by the Agenzija Zghazagh Gozo Youth Service, recently came to a close. It was aimed at the youth in Gozo, with these sessions for those aged over 13.

The sessions were held at the Youth Hub in Gozo, covering themes which tackled: Me, Myself and I, Health/Unhealthy Relationships, Social Media, Healthy Lifestyle and Mental Health.

Consisting of fun games and activities all related to the themes, the participants wrapped up the sessions by choosing a theme that they had worked on in the previous weeks, finding a way to raise awareness among the public.

The group chose the themes of Mental Health and Social Media and decided to use social media to send a message to all young people who are going through a difficult or challenging time.

“NEVER GIVE UP, JUST SPEAK UP!” was the phrase that they came up with, while also encouraging young people to speak up by using www.Kellimni.com which is a free and confidential online support system for young people.
