ROTARY DISTRICT 1240 – YOUTH ACTIVITIES

Rotakids and Interact

District 1240 have a new Facebook Group for our Rotakids & Interact clubs – District 1240 Rotakids & Interact. It is there for our Rotakids Clubs to share their projects, ideas and achievements.  If you are a Rotarian, school staff member, parent  then we would love you to join our group and see what is going on in Essex, East Herts. and the London Borough of Havering. You might find some good ideas for your own Rotakids Club!

Youth Exchange and NGSE  

This Youth Project has been put on hold and no new applications are being processed.  I am attending a meeting (on Zoom) with our two young people who should have been at a Camp this year and have agreed to attend next year. This meeting brings together all young people in this position.

RotaKids/Interact; Once again this project is on hold unless clubs are able to contact schools.  Having had a meeting with District Youth Coordinators it was agreed that we would set up a Face book Page for RotaKids/Interact.  We are also asking that we have Interact Clubs from feeder RotaKids Clubs were possible so that we may have a clear run from Junior School to Secondary School and hopefully inspire new Rotarians eventually.  This of course needs a big helping hand from Clubs.  Details for RotaKids Clubs will be circulated and once Covid 19 goes we may look to visit Secondary Schools to establish an Interact Club or vice versa.
