1. The Key 2
Unlocking youth & children’s work together
Welcome to
The Key 2
The Key 2 is the second in the series
of interactive and informative training
resources which aims to equip those who
work with children and young people in a variety of church settings.
Created by the Education departments from the Diocese of Bath and Wells, the
Diocese of Bristol and the Diocese of Exeter, The Key 2 builds on The Key and is
primarily aimed at volunteers, However it can also be used as a next steps tool
for existing volunteers or paid workers.
The Key 2 has been specifically designed to support and enhance conversation and
learning experienced through The Key. Three more sessions explore and unlock
youth and children’s work further in a fun and engaging way.
The style of the three sessions are interactive and full
of games, quizzes, reflections, ideas,practical
advice and group work. The Key 2 will
hopefully stimulate, motivate and
act as a pathway to further training
and development.
