We’ve been working on our Digital Citizen badges!

As part of that, in teams we created the following artwork (there are more than we could share in this post!) What do you think?

Backed by £5 per team from @VirginMoney, our Explorers have been challenged to create a small business for our final fundraising event for Switzerland!

Here’s one teams idea - personalised water bottles with your choice of colour, name and icon! How cool is that?

Tonight at Young Leader Training we’re staging a mock court scene. All about judging and examining behaviour as part of Module D.
