This weekend, we hosted a rainbow picnic as part of our Mind & Nature Program.

&Nature is designed to support youth mental health by creating space for meaningful connection with nature. The program recognizes the deep link between time outdoors and emotional well-being, offering activities that encourage rest, reflection, and community.

The picnic gave young people a chance to sit together, talk about the burdens they carry, and exchange ideas on how to cope. Sharing in this way reminded everyone that support is stronger when it comes from community.

After the conversations, we enjoyed snacks and games that brought energy, laughter, and friendship. These activities created an atmosphere where everyone could feel included and connected.

Thank you to all who joined and made this picnic a place of warmth, openness, and genuine care.

As part of the program, youth engaged in presentation sessions where they shared their own projects with peers.

These sessions created space for them to practise public speaking, strengthen critical thinking, and build the confidence needed to communicate ideas clearly in any setting.

Strong communication is a core skill for education, employment, and community leadership. By practising it early, youth are preparing themselves for opportunities ahead and shaping the future they want to create.
