Social mixing: We bring together people from different backgrounds and ages Challenge: We set real, intense challenges with a genuine risk of failure Reflection: We make time for reflection and provide feedback so that participants can learn from their experiences Relationships: We keep mentors and teams consistent and prioritise face-to-face relationships with the local community Scale: Everything we do is designed with mass scale in mind ‘The Challenge’ programme principles

‘The Challenge’ Programme Teams deliver projects to benefit local community and enhance image of young people (e.g., campaigns, fundraising, volunteering) Teams bond through intense outdoor physical activity Teams learn new skills and share those skills with local community groups Skills include performance, media, sport, photography Teams explore needs of local community and design a project to make a difference Personal Challenge (Week 1) Team Challenge (Week 2) Design the Real Challenge (Week 3) Deliver the Real Challenge (4 weekends in Sept) The Challenge Society (On-going) Teams graduate in October Continue community engagement with support and training from alumni society
