The Gozo Youth Summer Programme – Midweek Team sessions, which were organised by the Agenzija Zghazagh Gozo Youth Service [1], 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 [2] which is a free and confidential online support system for young people.
