Tour This Summer!

Hundreds of 16 year olds jetted off to Israel for their summer 'Tour Programmes'! Streetwise visited some of the tour groups to help prepare them for the intensity of their experience. Maccabi and LJY tour participants looked at the more practical aspects of tour, such as lack of sleep, drinking water and adjusting to the heat. Participants suggested different ways to support each other if it all gets too much, and they are overcome with exhaustion. However, as one tour leader remarked, "Tiredness is not an illness, and everyone has a responsibility to take care of themselves, as well as others"!

Streetwise also ran great sessions for Tour Madrichim & Madrichot from Maccabi, LJY, AJ6 and Hanoar Hatzioni to ensure they felt confident in how to deal with any situations that may arise on Tour with their participants. Tour Madrichim enjoyed thinking of advice to some potential 'scenarios' and also had a look at themselves and what sort of person they wanted to be on Tour as leaders and positive role models for participants.
