MENTORING AND PEER MENTORING

PEER MENTORING

PRAYER STATIONS

To further support young people in their development and thriving we also offer mentoring training for teachers and support staff, alongside supporting resources. Differing from academic mentoring, this whole person centred approach to mentoring supports young people in overcoming challenges, developing skills in resilience, gaining tools to support their wellbeing and goal setting. We offer comprehensive training and extensive resources to support schools in developing a mentoring programme to suit the individual context of each school.

Peer mentorship has the potential to enhance both the scope and experience of the sessions. Schools could utilise this element of the programme in a variety of ways; older students mentoring a younger year group or an at risk group, delivering the session, supporting teachers in delivery of the session, meeting in one-one's or in small groups. The mentoring programme is designed to be flexible and scale up or down to meet the specific needs of your school community.

Training in peer mentoring is rather aptly delivered by the Soli Outreach team to young people. The programme also includes training for the facilitators who will support the peer mentors on an ongoing basis

Each of the 8 stations will help the young people to have a tangible experience of prayer. Whether it be by walking the giant labyrinth; lying in an inflatable tent looking at the stars, experiencing the wonder of creation through a guided meditation; tasting the sweetness of the Word of God with guided Lectio Divina, incorporating chocolate; walking a physical examination of conscience. To mention a few of the 8 giant prayer stations.

At a time when much of life has been bereft of physical experiences. These prayer stations will ignite the spiritual imagination and offer an opportunity to encounter Jesus in a sensory experience of prayer.

The prayer stations are aimed at young people in secondary school and are available to hire from £99 + VAT
