room 627
Supporting you to move upThe first day of school is a big day. It is a momentous
and emotional event. We may have mixed feelings leading up to the day itself:
excitement, intrigue, anxiety, worries, trepidation, stress, a sense of loss or
change. Room 627 is a project created to help young people navigate the changes
of moving from year 6 to year 7 with kindness, compassion and creativity. It has
been funded by the #iwill fund, and it is being run by Bath Mind, The Dept of
Kindness and a creative group of young people from Oldfield School. Together we
have created a space where young people can explore different activities, share
ideas and get creative to build confidence in the changes created by ‘moving
up’. Bath Mind and The Dept. of Kindness have been collaborating since 2018. Our
Cabinet of Compassion has toured schools and community settings, interacting
with over 1,300 people across Bath and North East Somerset. We will be working
together until 2023 with year 6 and year 7 students, artists and creative
organisations to grow this project and fill the website with creative and
wellbeing resources for young people.
