- **Event Name**: Side by Side – A Low Pressure Creative Workshop For Teens Who Find Social Situations Challenging
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 29 Jan, 2026 at 06:00 pm – Thu, 29 Jan, 2026 at 07:30 pm
- **Event Description**: Description
Side by Side is a thoughtfully designed workshop for tweens and teens who find social situations challenging or who feel anxious about connecting with others.

The workshop is intentionally low pressure and has been shaped by many years of listening to young people, alongside extensive experience working with children and teenagers. Everything about the session is designed to feel safe, optional and respectful of individual needs.

This is a relaxed creative workshop where participants make jewellery while gently learning practical tools to understand their thoughts, anxiety and social situations. Hands stay busy, pressure stays low, and while there are structured opportunities to speak and share, nobody has to.

 

What the workshop includes

Jewellery making using a wide range of gorgeous supplies
A calm, shared table workspace where everyone works on their own individual project
Creative freedom, with guidance and ideas available for those who want it
Optional snacks and drinks
Practical ideas and tools around social struggles, making friends and coping with anxiety in social situations
Short optional sharing moments structured to allow the chance of speaking but created In a way that is low pressure and easy to move past is speaking in that moment doesn’t feel right.
 

The session is built around a clear four rule ethos, with a strong emphasis on respecting ourselves and our needs and respecting others differences and needs.

We begin with a gentle opening circle with an optional sharing of names and things we enjoy.

 

Creative time and mind skills

The majority of the session focuses on jewellery making, allowing plenty of space for creativity, focus and calm. Alongside this, there will be short, gentle thoughtful threads woven into the workshop.

These brief sections explore:

What is actually happening in our brains when we feel anxious
Common tricks our minds play on us in social situations
Simple, practical tools that can help in tricky moments
These moments are informal, accessible and designed to be listened to while hands remain busy.

There is also an optional, light-hearted game of Never Have I Ever, used as a way to normalise shared experiences and remind young people that they are not alone. This game is perfect for anyone struggling in social situation as you remain seated and don’t have to speak but still have the opportunity to interact and have a giggle with the people around you.

 

If this workshop proves popular, a similarly designed 4-week block programme will open for booking next month, with outdoor wilderness therapeutic programmes launching in the spring. Please let me know if you would like to hear more about either option.
