Young Citizens' Action Agenda NW project launched
14 October 2009
The Institute for Citizenship has launced the Young Citizens' Action Agenda NW project. It aims to give young people aged 14-19 the skills to play an active role in society and produce solutions to 21st century challenges.
The project aims to:
- give students briefings on 21st century political, economic and citizenship challenges.
- promote ‘life skills’ that help young people develop confidence.
- promote deliberative democracy and active citizenship.
- empower young people to be creative in helping to produce solutions to 21st century challenges.
- help society see young people in a more positive light.
- produce a Young Citizens' Action Agenda NW for the Prime Minister and Government.
The organisation is now approaching schools and youth groups to invite them to host a YCAA NW Workshop at their school. Any such groups who are itnerested should contact Nina (nina@citizen.org.uk /0161 602 3651) or Dorothy (dorothy@citizen.org.uk /0161 602 3651).
Further information regarding the Young Citizens’ Action Event at the Manchester Opera House on 19th Nov, the free resources and survey consultation will be available soon.
