#BeeWell Week & Festival celebrates our third year of #BeeWell in Greater Manchester
In Greater Manchester, we recently celebrated #BeeWell Week and #BeeWell Festival, to tie in with the launch of the third year of the programme. We were so pleased to be joined by schools from across Greater Manchester at the #BeeWell Festival on 21 September, where 100 young people trialled different activities that could support their wellbeing.
We also want to take the opportunity to say a big thank you to our #BeeWell Coalition of Partners who supported us not only on the Festival day, but for providing online content for our #BeeWell Week resources. We were delighted to be able to share these resources with our #BeeWell schools & partners throughout the week!
HIPS – Introducing #BeeWell to young people
During the summer holidays, the programme team worked alongside four young people to co-create an animated video to be shared with the 130 schools taking part, explaining to students why #BeeWell is important and what their input means. You can view the final video here.
New youth-led campaign ‘Feel Good Your Way’ launching soon
As a result of the #BeeWell findings on physical activity levels in Greater Manchester, GM Moving committed to co-create a campaign with young people focusing on how physical activity supports mental health. The campaign is being launched to encourage 11-16 year old girls to move in whatever way they feel comfortable. Coinciding with this year’s World Mental Health Day (10 Oct), the campaign aims to promote positive messaging to support more young people to get moving and feel good, their way.
To download and use the campaign assets, visit the GM Moving website, and contact Active Young People Lead Lauren Whaley to let GM Moving know how you will be using the campaign.
