Advice from Affinity Group members

 ‘Just let the young people speak as much as they want… then the rest of the sessions you could work on developing what they say.’

 

Give the young people the space to be themselves and express who they are and be their guide.

 

‘First define the purpose and goals of the group clearly, and then create a warm and welcoming environment where everyone feels valued and respected… And never make anyone feel less valued than they actually are.’
