Using SNS with Young People

I know that the last few posts have been about the developments at UKYouthOnline and I don’t want to keep banging on about the same thing, but a great video has been posted on the site by Katie Bacon where a centre-based youth worker explains the journey they have been on in using Bebo to [...]

I Kissed A Girl

Well I have kissed a girl, but that’s not what I’m talking about! Jonathan over at thesource4ym has flagged up a new song by female singer Katy Perry called “I Kissed A Girl”.
This song isn’t so much about homosexual activity as it is just “doing what feels good at the moment.” Just like current hit [...]

Worshipping Mr Bean

Last weekend I was at a church youth camp where I was running a seminar. During the worship service, the tech guys were putting up video clips on the screen behind the words as a visual aid to worship.
If you’ve ever been to events like Soul Survivor then you’ll have seen this kind of [...]

Regenerate

Here’s a promo video for the excellent work being done by Regenerate in Roehampton, London.
It really reminds me of the sort of creative youth work we did at The WIRE here in Littlehampton. Different area, similar approach.

The Orang-Utan Song

First, an explanation:
I wrote this silly song on a youth retreat around 6 years ago because I was bet that I couldn’t write a song about an Orang Utan in 10 minutes. It became one of those collective moments that the youth group remembered and has never quite been forgotten. Needless to say, I never [...]

Spring Harvest

Happy Easter everyone!
Last week we were down in Minehead running Distinctive, the 11-14’s venue for Spring Harvest (Week 1). This is the sixth year I’ve been involved in the 11-14’s programme and yet again I absolutely loved being part of such an amazing and talented team! Sim has already posted on what we were up [...]

Stop-Motion Music

I found this awesome video a while ago but never posted it here. After posting the Beatbox Recipe I thought I should probably add this too… He says he cannot play drums or piano, just edited the video!
