Emojis Project

10 week programme aiming to empower the young people to express themselves and to build their confidence and self-esteem levels 

 

 

Emojis-logoThe project runs from our youth club based in the Barry YMCA Hub. The Emojis project is a Families first funded provision. 

 

The young people who attend the project have been referred by FACT for varying reasons.


“Can we come back to Emojis?”
“Emojis should be a full time youth club.”
“I’ve made so many new friends.”

 

We often have young people referred to the project for help understanding their emotional responses, anger management, confidence, self-esteem and social interaction.

 

 

Since April the Emojis programme has made 139 contacts for 13 Attendees and achieving 91 recorded achievements. 10 Agored Cymru unit booklets in Media and Music have been completed during the last 10 weeks.
