(Home & Place) Based on the Foyer Federation's initiative of Open Talent this workshop presentation details how to promote young people's goals and enable them to develop the skills, resources and opportunities they need to achieve them. The Open Talent approach looks not at just supporting young people in regards to what the don't have but rather inspiring them to be the best person they can be.

Editor's Notes
- The aim of this workshop is to explore the concepts of Open talent and to look at ways in which they are being applied in practise through the open talent pilot and DfE funded connect yourself testbeds.
- Activity to introduce advantage thinking and to acknowledge the talents in the room
- Working assets was our first programme to apply some of this thinking, which we have tested over the last couple of years. Theory – develop assets of young people, service and community through a positive activity / recognise achievements, partnerships and progression
- First phase – engage yp and community around choosing a positive activity that will have an impact. Egs – dragons den event that brings everyone together to choose ideas; a competition – eg, to offer a design for a card or tshirt that will then form part of an enterprise to create and sell; a fundraising activity to raise money that challenges stereotypes and creates momentum to develop a project; an inspirational event for young people to work together and come up with ideas; using social media and other platforms
- Building assets of staff and service – in particular approaches to work readiness in toolkit / finding mentors for young people to complete specialist project / ways young people track the development of their assets
- Recognition celebration events – the climax of the project, sometimes the project itself. Importance, from research, of enabling young people to talk about learning and what they are good at; and for services to focus on community connections and progression opportunities. TIM – part of the process of making sure the style of investment is embedded into the service approach so the project acts as a catalyst to change and not just another project delivered.
