Next steps for the Next Generation project

Next steps for the Next Generation project

Partners involved in the Chalk, Cherries and Chairs Next Generation project have been working together to test new ways of engaging with young people in the Chilterns.

Project partners all wanted to know more about engaging and working with young people in nature and heritage, and have spent several months stepping out of their comfort zones – exploring new approaches and ways of reaching a more diverse range of young people.

From campfire sessions for youth leaders to sessions for young people in rivers and churchyards; partners Chiltern Rangers, BBOWT, Amersham Museum, Wycombe Museum and Chilterns National Landscape have been building on work started within the successful Chalk, Cherries and Chairs Landscape Partnership.

The partners now invite you to an online session where they will share their journey, what they have learned – both personally and organisationally – and offer insights into how this learning could apply to your work.

The free online session is suitable for nature and heritage groups, and organisations working in the Chilterns and beyond, who are interested to adopt new approaches to working with young people.
