    This sounds like a thoughtful workshop, especially the idea of using creative books and boxes to preserve memories while also giving young people space to think about hopes for the future. A handmade memory project can become something meaningful to revisit years later. I recently came across Journey in Pages( https://www.journeyinpages.nl ), which focuses on memory books and personal keepsakes, and it seems quite relevant to the theme of turning important moments and stories into something tangible. The combination of lunch, social time and a hands-on creative session also sounds like a lovely way for CP teens to meet others in a relaxed setting.
