Scrutiny, Resident Involvement and engaging young people.
Plan Ice breaker 10/15 mins Introduction of NCHA 10/15 mins Introduction of myself. What I’ve done in the past couple of years with Scrutiny and events etc with young people. 15 mins Network and ideas for what other organisations/ Scrutiny panels can do. Forums/ events/ U25 group/ fourteen19 10mins Activity 10 mins Close and end.
Ice Breaker Fact or fiction? Ask everyone to write on a piece of paper THREE things about themselves which may not be known to the others in the group. Two are true and one is not. Taking turns they read out the three ‘facts’ about themselves and the rest of the group votes which are true and false. There are always surprises. This simple activity is always fun, and helps the group and leaders get to know more about each other.
