This event will see two topic trainings run side by side with everyone coming together for a delicious lunch. You can opt to train in:
1. Think Resilient, designed to build mental wellbeing and grow resilience through exploring five different resilience building techniques
2. Safe the World, which tackles the topic of safety by looking at how everyone experiences safety differently, how we can spot and deal with unsafe behaviours and how we can empower everyone to become upstanders and campaign for a safer world for all.
During the day our experienced and enthusiastic Peer Educator trainers will equip you with the skills necessary to start delivering one of these exciting resources in your county.

Pre Training Requirements
There are some pre-training requirements which must be completed at least two weeks before the training day:
- Ensure that your A Safe Space Levels 1 & 2 or A Safe Space for 14–17-year-olds do not expire before the training event. If they do, you will need to complete Girlguiding’s new online Safeguarding training, ‘Safer Guiding’ within 40 days of the expiry date. You can access this on the Learning Platform but if you have difficulties logging in do ask your unit leader or commissioner for help.
- Watch the Think Resilient Topic Video or Safe the World Topic Video and complete the Quiz.
We’ll send out a detailed information pack nearer to the event.
