Delivery
Each BRAVE workshop requires 90 minutes, engaging young people on gang exploitation and safeguarding against violent extremism. BRAVE sessions are jointly developed and delivered by St Giles Trust and ConnectFutures, combining their expertise, experience, skills and knowledge.
BRAVE can be delivered to both small targeted groups – between 5-30 young people – and larger assembly-style audiences – up to 500 young people. We have delivered in schools to children as young as years 5 and 6, all the way up to young adults and parents in community settings, all with tremendous feedback attesting to the effectiveness of the workshops.
BRAVE seeks to communicate a number of key messages identifying the similarities between gang involvement, extremism and radicalisation. It also supports schools and colleges to be able to tackle issues that they may feel ill-equipped to deal with, without the adverse publicity of being seen as ‘having this problem’.
