Amaal launched its first Outreach youth programme in partnership with Mulberry school for girls on the 21st January 2009. Amaal Outreach Youth Project is funded by Tower Hamlets Extended School Services. The programme aims to raise awareness of local provision for young women and increase their participation in extra-curricular activities. More than a hundred girls participated in the launch after school to mark the beginning of a series of mobile youth club sessions at the school. The party featured games, performance by students at mulberry and activities to welcome the girls on to the project. Participants were consulted on the type of activities they wished to partake in after school. The launch was followed by four sessions per term at the school attended by an average of 20 girls each session. Activities have included cake baking, fruit carving, spray arts, learning manicure, canvas painting, cycling and martial arts. The mobile youth sessions will continue to run on a termly basis and will be open to all girl attending mulberry school.
As part of the Outreach Youth Project, Amaal is run a transition programme for students in Year 6 of primary education. The programme aims to support students in making a smooth transition from primary education to secondary education. The transition programme includes sessions at selected secondary schools to help break some of the barriers identified in making a smooth transition. This includes tour around secondary school buildings, team building exercises and with students from other primary schools and interaction with students from secondary schools. The transition programme has been run at Bigland Green primary school and Harry Gosling primary school with an average attendance of 20 students each session.
