Bored Meetings was conceived by young
people who identified the need for training
to support their involvement in collective
decision-making processes.
The Bored Meetings pack comprises various
elements which supports workers and
young people to reflect on and improve
their decision-making skills.
Bored Meetings fits with CfE on many
fronts, not least the experiences and
outcomes outlines in the Literacy document.
