Starting a Dreamscheme

Training

Dreamscheme training really does give you the valuable tools you will need to start and run a successful dreamscheme.

With this in mind we run a regular programme of training courses. We are happy to discuss any individual needs you may have, and can travel to deliver in-house training. We occasionally run training events in the South of England according to demand.

We now offer a one-day course designed to prepare you to deliver Have You Got the Bottle effectively to the young people you work with.

This interactive course was written by Kate King with the help of the young people in Sheffield. It is about self-confidence, self-esteem and self-worth. 'Have You Got the Bottle?' training takes you through this widely acclaimed workbook, going into detail in some of the most rewarding areas and ensuring your young people gain the most benefit from the potential it offers.

This training is for facilitators and group leaders who will be running the course with young people. For more information or to book a place e-mail us at info@dreamscheme.org.uk
