  Working Week Programme 4 Youth Worker and DJ Tutor   Activities: Skills audit – design a youth programme Go around the class and draw up a list of the interests, hobbies, talents and skills that students have. Then do another column with skills / interests they would like to acquire. Group various categories together (music, sports, etc.) and reduce to a manageable number (five or six). Is there a cross-match? With the resources of the class, could students develop an exciting youth programme of teaching and learning from each other? Discuss the advantages of each ‘session’ for young people (eg building a useful / enjoyable skill, giving confidence, engaging people who might otherwise not join in, etc.). What would be the downside of each ‘session’? Discussions – youth issues In the programme Wayne goes on a drugs awareness course, in which he has to think about difficult situations and the best ways of handling them. 'A young person is behaving out of character, looks unwell and seems 'out of it'. How would you deal with that situation?' AND 'A young person says they have no money and owe it to a drug dealer who is threatening them – how to deal with those situations.' Discuss these two situations and consider appropriate responses to them. What do students think are the key issues facing young people these days. Draw up a list and then flesh out the debates and ideas around each area. For example sex (peer-pressure, sexual health / STDs, the age of consent, abortion, teenage pregnancy). Creativity Compose a rap / song around one of the issues above! Self-awareness / development – Wayne’s driving test Look at the driving scene again and discuss it. How confident was Wayne when he started? When did things start to go wrong? How did Wayne handle his failure? Was he ‘professional’ in his dealings with the instructor? Was he aware of his mistakes during the test or was the criticism a surprise? Imagine coping with the scene. How did Wayne save face in the film?
