In collaboration with Fast Forward, West Lothian CLD 2 "Own It" projects are taking place and produce brand new "own It' games.
The “Own It”’s! Are a simple decision based on-line game, enabling participants to learn from the potential positive and negative outcomes and consequences of risk-taking behaviours, making decisions in a safe and supportive environment.
Through upskilling and development sessions each group identifies issues relevant to them, i.e. self-esteem & resilience, alcohol, drugs and gambling.
Each young person is supported to tell their own stories in an effective and authentic way, and design and develop their Own it!, drawing on the discussions and learning from the groupwork sessions, and their own lived experience of risk taking behaviours.
The "Own It" resources are FREE to play on the Peer Inspiration Projects Scotland (PIPS) website www.pips.scot/own-its/
or play a game here and continually are being played and used by young people, youth workers and youth groups across Scotland.
There are a number of projects that are awaiting confirmations for funding or are in the process of development.
Watch this space for up dates.
