Watch back the Discussion & workshop
Youth Action Participation Plan
Do you want to get young people more involved in your service, but feel like you don’t know how to do it?
Does it feel like a risk you don’t know how to navigate?
Listen to speakers from 42nd Street, Peer Power & BeatFreeks who collectively have years of experience in engaging young people and involving them in services and service offers at various levels within their organisations. In this session you’ll come away with a Youth Action Participation Plan (YAPP, for short) with ideas tailored to your organisation’s needs and direct actions that you can go back to your organisation and implement!
Youth Voice is a valuable tool, and we hope this workshop shows you how you can take that tool and use it for yourselves!
