Barefoot Games youth volunteering

It aimed to reconnect these people with their natural environment through interactive events including sports, using the 2012 Olympic Games as inspiration.

Volunteer stories

• Our Wild Days Out offered volunteers and local young people the chance to reconnect with nature through outdoor survival experiences, den building, and arts and crafts activities.
• As part of the St Austell Carnival:
• the local dance collective Flava performed and offered dance workshops in the centre of the town
• Barefoot Games volunteers parked Eden’s Big Green Bus in the town centre, decorated the top deck as a spooky bat cave and offered wand making workshops to local kids.
• At one of Eden’s regular Arts Cafe nights, our volunteers ran a clay modelling workshop, which proved very popular with the people attending the event.
