Open space with youth 9 - 16?

[David stevenson]

Great inquiry Bret!

Done lots of work with young people,  use to be one myself..long ago. One
thing to keep in mind is that us up here in the adult world can sometimes
think of young people as a "constituancy" or group. Young people I have
worked with remind me to not think of young people as a single group. We
dont approach working with adults that way, ie "i will be working with
adults..how should I approach this." Having said that I a few hobbit tricks,
lots of snacks
big harvest wall with open opportunity for everyone and anyone to "tag" it
in anyway they like.
Have a little video camera on a lap top and if possilbe let they leave a
video response to ....? the event, a question you have posed at the
station?....this can be a real buzz and something to feed live, or capture
or whatever you think.
And, depending on you food ethic, pizza is a hit and acts as a great
modivator and social lubricant....

have fun and let us know how it goes.
