Listening Challenges

The Big Listen week is not only about fundraising. It is also about having fun and helping young people to get their voice heard. The topic for 2005 was the Big Question, encouraging young people to ask adults about the issues that really interest them.

As a faith group, maybe you could organise:

• a Listening sermon - given by the young people in your community
• a special youth service.

We have a developed a range of activities to get you started. These will encourage young people to listen and question more. Click on the links below to find out more:
