Resources
Everything you need to know to implement the READY programme effectively, from using its activities and advice to prepare young people for sessions, to building a community of users who share experiences across diverse contexts, and extending its development to reach and support more youth workers throughout Europe.
The READY Toolkit
During the project, youth workers, educators from across Europe told us that they are looking for new ideas and practical responses for how they can engage and animate their sessions with young people. This toolkit is an exciting response to this request. We have taken all the ideas and experiences and structured them in this toolkit for you. The idea is that you can dip in and out of it, even just before a session with your young people, you can look for ideas and tips. Please download it, test it out and join our Community of Practice to share your experiences.
READY Channel Youtube videos
The READY Youtube Channel
The READY partners have been working to share their experiences of building this new community of practitioners from across Europe. Through our summer school, our workshops and our conference, we want you to have a look at our work. There are shorter and longer videos here, some more informative about theory and ideas, some more focused on the practice. Check them out and give us some feedback.
The READY Handbook
While the toolkit above is grounded in the day to day work of a youth centre or even a school, this Handbook gives you the theory behind the ideas. It shines a light into how BYC has created a restorative lens in all of its work and how Teen Yoga has emerged as an evidence-based approach to empower and support young people in their daily lives.
