6. V Student Case Study y Valentines Tea Dance Young volunteers from Haverstock School Envision team held a Valentines Tea Dance for 80 elderly people in Camden to bridge the invisible barrier between the youths and the older generation. y g They filled Haverstock Hall with balloons, table settings and tea, cakes and biscuits which the elderly people enjoyed before taking part in swing band dancing and waltzing. The event really helped the young people to promote respect for each other regardless of age and at the same time promote sustainable living as they made their own recycled decorations and served home made cakes.
