Creating space for conversation

Rooted is all about helping young people and children to explore who they are, why they matter and the difference Jesus can make in their lives.

We've got tools to equip you in creating space for young people to explore the roots of who they are: through workshops, journals, conversations cards, retreat days and more... 

 

Group of young people on Rooted retreat

With Levels of loneliness being reported to be comparatively high among children and young people how can we create space for conversation and community in the places young people and children are at?  

For a chance to talk about their everyday, exploring who they are, why they matter and the difference Jesus makes in their life. What would it look like to create these spaces in schools, on the streets and in communities

Rooted is a collection of tools to equip you in your context to create these conversation spaces. Whether that be alongside sports, creativity, at school lunch time or detached work, Rooted exists to make space to talk.

Rooted offers conversation cards, journals, workshops, lessons plans and devotionals all focusing on the everyday themes that young people and children are facing day to day.

Rooted Hubs

Rooted hubs come in all different shapes and sizes from sports hubs, to school lunchtime hubs, illustration hubs, drop-in hubs, and evening hubs. The DNA of a rooted hub is that the young people can chat, learn new skills, build friendships, and have space to delve deeper into big life questions and faith.

If you're looking to setup a Rooted Hub, you can find the Leaders Guide, journals and conversation cards in our Resource Centre. But also, we would LOVE to chat with you and find out how we can support you as you get started on this new adventure of discovery.
