Ask them to draw their IDEAL COMMUNITY, in this community nobody would be lonely.

After they have finished, ask them what differences there are between the community they have drawn, and their own community.

Discuss how the young people can develop these ideas into tackling loneliness, in their loneliness outreach projects. Get them to think about the questions: WHAT DIFFERENCE DO YOU WANT TO MAKE? HOW WILL YOU KNOW THE IMPACT YOU HAVE MADE?
