For some young people, the extended hours of isolation over the summer holiday can mean retreating into phones – and getting advice and ideas from worrying places.
Kooth’s mission is to help young people go somewhere good this summer and we’re launching a new campaign #GoSomewhereGood.
We’ve asked hundreds of young people where they go or what they like doing to feel good, and will be sharing the highlights on our website. We want to inspire young people with ideas of good places and things to do over the summer that don’t cost anything, will boost their mental wellbeing and encourage them to spend less time on their phone.
And if they decide to get involved and vote for their favourite idea, they could win a prize! We’re giving away a prize each day for 50 days. Anything from a hoodie, skateboard, sunglasses, frisbee or book voucher!
The Go Somewhere Good campaign launched on 24th June – here’s how you can get involved:
- Book an in-person year group assembly – let me know what date you would like by getting in touch via [email protected]
- Book onto one of our live webinars about Kooth with summer inspiration, which you can stream direct into classrooms in early July – Book KoothKlass webinar: go somewhere good this summer
- Use our Discussion guide to explore ideas to boost wellbeing and online safety over the summer with students during tutor/form time or in a PSHE/RSHE class
- And finally, please just encourage your students/young people to get involved by displaying our GoSomewhereGood poster on your noticeboards
