Emojis Project

This Families First Funded project is a 10 week programme aiming to empower the young people to express themselves, build confidence and to increase 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 and referrals can only be directed from the FACT team 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.

 

 

The project runs three times throughout the year with a junior and senior group, once completed the young people have an awards evening to be presented with a certificate for their commitment and inclusion to the project and for some that may have also achieved National accreditation whilst on the project.

 

 

 

 

What We Do:

  •   The project runs over a 10 week period aiming to empower the young people to express themselves and to build their confidence and self-esteem levels.
  •   Staff members are fully qualified youth workers with specialism’s in health, understanding relationships and emotional responses.
  •   The young people take part in a wide range of activities during their time on the project all with the aim of improving their confidence, self-esteem, communication skills and emotional understanding.
  •   Young people have the opportunity to be involved in local and national accredited learning opportunities
  • We provide learning environments which are friendly and approachable including activities such as music production, photography and film
  • The project helps young people to express their feelings in a safe manner and enable them to form better relationships with peers and families.
  • The young people take part in an ‘All about me’ Pen picture session as an initial consultation which allows staff to create a 10 week course which is tailored made for each individual.
  • Via activities and sessions we promote their personal, educational, social and cultural development.
