There were 6 create events throughout July that took place at:
Callander – The Brigdend Hotel, Raploch Community Campus, Balfron – Donaldson Park, Mayfield Centre, Dunblane Centre and Bannockburn High School.
At each event young people from 10 to 25 years old were offered the opportunity to participate in a range of fun and free activities, which enabled them to learn new skills, meet new people and try new things. Activities included a bird of prey workshop, boot camp experience, zumba workshops, animation workshops, music workshops, martial arts, pot planting, the cube (similar to the TV show), a police workshop depicting a day in the life of a police officer & a fire brigade workshop highlighting the dangers of fire.
At the end of each ‘Create’ day a BBQ was held to replenish all the hungry stomachs.
There was a fantastic turnout of between 60 – 85 people at each ‘create’ event.
The final create is due to take place on Thursday 11th August at Fallin’s Alpha Centre from 4-8pm. It is open to all young people aged 10-25 from Stirling and surrounding areas AND it’s free! There will be lots happening including a free BBQ, live music, as well as interactive activities.

Dance is more popular as a participatory activity than football in Scotland, according to a new report published by the Federation of Scottish Theatre.
The report emphasises the success of dance in Scotland, both in terms of a participatory activity and of its professional arts companies. He also pointed out the areas where dance is lacking. In particular, although dance is now part of the curriculum for excellence, he said that there is currently no Standard Grade dance exam, while dance is offered as a Higher Grade subject in only nine secondary schools across Scotland.

Irene Steward is a Principal teacher of Music at Bellshill Academy in North Lanarkshire. She began using Glow quite recently, encouraged by her own son’s use of Glow in primary school. She saw the potential for her secondary pupils to be accessing materials from home and also to be able to ask questions on Discussion Boards for help with their homework. Her son’s obvious enjoyment of using Glow made her think that her pupils would be motivated by using it.
