During August “Game On” Practitioners will be working with Stoke-on-Trent Youth Service to look at the issues encompassed in the “Game On” Programme.

The team are now about to start Phase 3 with all seven High schools this Summer term.

More news to be announced shortly, including details of the GAME ON CONFERENCE, to be held w.c 6th July to tie in with the national SHINE week to be held at Staffordshire University

PHASE TWO COMPLETED !!!

Phase 2 has now been completed by the Game On team. All seven schools have now participated and the support from the Staff of all the schools has been overwhelming so thank you from Reveal.

The Rules of the Game from the 1st phase were examined in Phase 2 and the young people explored through theatre when the Rules Of the Game break down in our communities. This enabled the participants to explore the various issues and to try and understand how those characters created arrived at such a crisis point. Many serious issues arose but the young people engaged completely and arose to the challenges.

Many thanks to Staffordshire Police for coming and getting involved in the workshops and to Ray Williams for providing 4 Port Vale apprentices and first team player Gareth Owen who jumped into the challenge of creating scenes and acting them out in front of the pupils of Brownhills.
