Re:Shift Collective is a youth-centred programme developed to respond to the complex realities faced by young people who are often described as disengaged, hard to reach, or at risk of exclusion.
Re:Shift Collective offers a fresh, creative, and relational approach to education, one that’s built around the needs, strengths, and voices of young people.
We provide spaces that can act both as an alternative to formal education when it’s not the right fit, and as a complement to school-based learning when additional support is needed, with part-time, personalised programmes that support emotional wellbeing, identity development, and re-engagement with learning.
Our Offer
One-to-One
These sessions typically take place in a calm, youth-appropriate space, this could be a garden room, studio area, or another quiet non-clinical setting. Sessions often include a practical or creative activity (such as sketching,
photography, design, music-making, or a shared walk), and are guided by the young person’s energy, communication style, and interests.
Group Sessions
Re:Shift facilitates small group sessions aimed at creating safe peer spaces where young people can share experiences, develop skills, and explore topics relevant to their lives. These sessions can be open (e.g. regular drop-in style
groups) or structured around specific themes such as identity, transitions, emotional health, independent skills, or relationships.
Workshops
In addition to regular sessions, Re:Shift offers themed programmes focused on topics such as emotional literacy, independence, or creative self-expression, tailored to specific settings or needs.
