Global Youth project
Fair trade fortnight, fair fashion highstreet performance
Over the last year we have been developing our work with young people in partnership with Reading Youth Service and with teachers to engage young people in taking steps to build a future they would want to live in. The project aims to give young people the skills to build the instruments that will enable the voices to be heard. The Let it be heard section of this site is managed by young people, Take a look and if you are a budding young activists or artists then join the group!
We aim to:
- To develop young people as leaders to promote actions for change amongst their peers and community (sharing their knowledge and skills with others). For young people to develop and lead a global youth group in Reading
- A deeper understanding of local and global environmental and social issues
- To look for positive solutions using creative approaches
- To establish networks and connections with activists from other parts of the world
- To provide opportunities to learn and develop their creative skills and talents
- To give young people a platform which empowers young people to express their ideas and opinions on issues that are important to them and affect their future.
