Welcome to ABC: A Journey of Creative Discovery for Teen Girls

It's as easy as ABC!

​

What is ABC?:

ABC is an exciting 6-month cultural arts project designed for teen girls aged 14 to 17.
Produced by Girl Grind UK CIC in collaboration with the Duke of Edinburgh and Blackwell
Adventure, and generously funded by United by Legacy.

​

What to Expect:

Join us this summer (August 2024) for an unforgettable experience as we embark on a
creative and cultural journey with 25 participants. Through our GROWNISH initiative, ABC
offers a unique blend of activities, including a 5-day, 4-night residential experience and up to
15 hours of guided volunteering.

​

What’s On Offer:

On ABC, participants will delve into a diverse array of creative workshops in music, dance,
and drama, alongside essential life skills sessions covering financial well-being, active
citizenship, and healthy relationships. Our program is packed with thrilling activities such as
outdoor cooking, camping, hiking, canoeing, zip lining, archery, and more, all designed to
unlock each individual's fullest creative potential.

​

Empowering Growth:

ABC encourages participants to embrace their journey towards becoming the best version of
themselves while defining their role within their community. Through our partnership with the
Duke of Edinburgh, participants will receive a valuable CV-boosting certificate upon
completion, along with cherished memories and lasting friendships.

Our Commitment:

Nestled within 52 acres of picturesque land at Blackwell Adventure, we are dedicated to
fostering an environment where young people can be themselves, thrive and stay active.
