5 KEY+ ideas

We've been racking our brains and thinking of new ideas to help you kickstart your 2023 KEY+ journey.

We've taken some inspiration from young people who have hit the ground running this year and added a few ideas from The Key team too. Here's our top 5 ideas to get your ideas flowing...

Cooking class: Gather the troops and the ingredients to make a tasty meal together. Learn new skills and make a new tasty dish to share with everyone attending your youth session.

Skills: Search for information for the recipe and ingredients, Negotiate with your peers on which dish to make and Settle disagreements if any are to arise.
Enterprising candle business: Get creative by creating your own resource and activity pack to help you and others get through lockdown.

Skills: Solve problems like all business owners as you get to grips with pricing and products and Communicate with customers as you learn to sell.
Community quiz night: Pick your quizmaster and grab a pen and paper for a quiz night for all. There's nothing quite like starting the year off right by learning some new things and getting the competition going.

Skills: Plan your time and energy to get your school work done and write the quiz questions, Communicate with the community to promote the quiz and get more involved.
Cinema night: Beat the January blues and get together with friends at your local youth club to share some popcorn, chill out and watch your favourite film.

Skills: Deal with people in power and authority to get the go ahead and Search for information for snack prices.
Social action community project: January is a hard month for many so why not do some research and speak to people in your community about how you could take action and help those most in need. A food bank collection, a community garden to brighten spirits or even a mental health awareness campaign.

Skills: Agree your responsibilities and see them through to deliver a project that helps others and Assess your own performance as you see the difference your social action project has made to your local community.
