Where will your choices lead you?

Published July 29, 2010.

A new game which gives young people the chance to find out what their future holds will tour Sedgefield this summer. 

Check It Out is an interactive game which explores feelings on issues such as bullying, sex, alcohol, healthy eating and relationships.

Aimed at 12-year-olds and above, the game has been designed and created by young people from the Sedgefield area who were inspired by the NHS lifecheckers web page www.mylifecheck.co.uk

It uses sound, light, film and graphics to look at the choices and decisions they have to make.

Durham County Council is supporting this Local Children’s Board project in partnership with County Durham and Darlington Primary Care Trust, Greenfield School Community and Arts College and arts organisation Metro-Boulot-Dodo.

The game will be available to play on the following dates:

Saturday August 7, Spennymoor Leisure Centre
Saturday August 14, Shildon Fun in the Park event
Saturday August 21, Chilton Gala Day
Saturday August 28 and Sunday August 29, Great Aycliffe Show.

The NHS lifecheckers website is aimed at 12 to 15-year-olds and explores the feelings associated with subjects such as bullying and offers practical advice.

For more information on the game, contact Greenfield Community and Arts Centre, on 01325 379 048 or email: info@greenfield-arts.co.uk
