The Bronze Award is the equivalent of General Standard Grade and is offered to S5\/6 pupils who wish to develop skills and qualities useful to them in the future. The YAA involves the members on the group negotiating and planning 4 projects. This session the projects are Teambuilding, Trying New Things, Have Your Say (discussion) and Fundraising.<br \/>\nIf you ask one of the young people taking part \u201cWhat have you done so far?\u201d,  they will probably say \u201cPlay cards!\u201d.<!--more--> They might not mention the recent sessions they have had baking a range of goodies, helped by Freda from the Youth Centre, all the discussions we have been having ranging from what age should young people have a vote in elections to the mess left in the forum after breaks.  There has also been a juggling session.<br \/>\nThey probably don\u2019t see the change in themselves as they move from a diverse group of individuals who mostly would not choose to interact with each other, to a group who look out for each other and even help the others.<br \/>\nFor a subject in which they say they \u201cjust play cards\u201d, they also find this as one of the most challenging classes to take part in.<br \/>\nThe YAA is supported by Alan Robertson, youth worker from Youth Services Argyll and Bute Council.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The YAA is now in its second year at Dunoon Grammar.
