East Residential--Bedfordshire.

Well this weekend was the East Residential once again and refocusing on the National Campaigns and figuring out how to start our campaigns in our Counties(mine being in Norfolk).

At the beginning we got to know each other again because we hadn't seen each other since the end of February and there were some new people who were there.

We then had Lunch and then split in to groups and we could choose between Kayaking and Raft building.I did Kayaking and fell in twice :(.

Norfolk then did their presentation on Communication which needs to become better according to some,Networking and Teamwork which is vital in our work as a MYP.

Jacob Rix MYP for North Norfolk talked about communication.

Chloe Donovan MYP for South Norfolk and I spoke about Networking and how NOT to network.

Jasmin Stringer MYP for Great Yarmouth talked about teamwork we then had some free time to meet new people from all over the east which includes Hertfordshire,Bedfordshire,Norfolk,Thurrock,Cambridgeshire,Essex,Peterborough,Luton.

On the Sunday We had a another Presentation from Bedfordshire on ways to campaign
Augustine An MYP for Bedfordshire spoke about ways to campaign and lobby to City Councils and County Councils.

Alex Jonas then talked about ways to get young people Involved in things like Petitions as prove that young people want things to change.

We then finished this and got ready to depart The Frontier centre which is actually in Irthlingborough in Northamptonshire but anyway.

The weekend for most reaffirmed what we already knew and for some MYP's some inspiration on how to start in their constituencies.We also learned alot about the other MYP's and what they do which gave an insight in what we could do in their own especially those who have been MYP's longer.The weekend was Great fun and We are loooking forward to the residential in Hertfordshire in October.

Hear By Right...x

Hear by Right is for young people And its seven standards which youung people which include:-
Structure.
Staff.
Sharing Ideas.
and others i think its a great idea it takes a long time to see a progression thouh thats what sucks they have councillors and business people who say they want to make a difference and youth workers of course they agree to do things for young people involve tham and such like and make dates for targets for when they have to happen.

Let's see what happen's shall we?
