SLN Videos
Videos demonstrating SLN programmes in local authority areas across the country, showing how young people prepare for and engage during, and their reflections on linking.
The videos show examples of school children preparing to meet their linking partners, linking for the first time at a neutral venue, reflecting on linking sessions, and celebration events that children have organised, often with parental involvement, towards the end of the linking year.
Links to SLN-MUN videos, videos in Case Studies and the Beyond Labels video are also included in this section.

First Meeting – At a Neutral Venue
