Working in partnership to bridge generation gap


South West Rhyl Communities First and Denbighshire’s Older People’s Strategy Development Officer have teamed up with Community Focus Schools to deliver a pilot workshop for young people at Rhyl High School around the issue of confidence and self-esteem.
Six students have been referred to the programme which is a simple method in discussing an issue, making a few small changes then discussing the impact of those changes on their lives, hopefully revealing a positive outcome of change.
The model is based on a Swedish model of work which was firstly used for Older People.Once the Rhyl High School students have completed the workshop they will meet a group of Older People who’ve been through the same process and discuss the outcomes together in what’s called a ‘Life Café’.
