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, which focused on young people asking adults about the issues that really interest them.

Questioning will never go out of style, so just because Big Listen 2005 is over doesn't mean that you can't enjoy the activities! We've developed a range of ways to encourage young people to listen and question. Click on any of the links below to find out more.
