Get Hooked On Fishing - Call for Participants
Get Hooked On Fishing targets young disaffected people and uses fishing as the engagement tool to help try and address issues they may have through modular work. As well as teaching the finer skills of angling, the project also focuses on formal learning about health and safety, environmental issues, conservation etc whilst also with the long term aim of training the young people up to be peer mentors which includes training them on presentation skills, various standard procedures (equal opps, anti bullying etc), building up self esteem/confidence and eventually having them train other young people on the scheme.
