the training on enfield last monday and tuesday was good. it was nice to see everyone again and it was good to ask how they were doing in thier different placements.
it was quite difficult for me to take everything in as it was lot of information in a short period of time, and for me, once a certain amount has gone in, the rest just bounces off. even so, the material of 'What Every Volunteer Youth Worker Should Know' (WEVYWSK) was very good, and challenged me in places. we were given powerpoint sheets to take, so i can look over them and get more out of them when i have some time.
we looked at many different things including: how to work with youth, how to be a good youth worker, what type of style works best, ideas of how to interact, and much more. it was all very good, but think the thing that challenged me most, was not necasserily from what i got from the training, but where i could apply what i found. all through the training i was thinking of my youth group back at my home church and how it hasntbeen working for ages, and ideas kept flowing through my mind as to how it could be improved. it really gave me a sense of encouragment for when i came back here.
sadly this was possibly short lived due to some news i got, but i will write more about that when i know a bit more.
still, i will continue to give this place my all, because this is where my want to be.
thats all today will write soon
