Look Listen Change - help shape a new programme

Look Listen Change is a new consortium made up of British Youth Council, KIDS and National Children’s Bureau that will support young people to influence their local services (such as sports centres or youth clubs). We would like your help to develop training for the young people involved.
The purpose of this programme is:

To increase the numbers and quality of opportunities for marginalised young people to influence services;
To help marginalised young people to engage their peers in influencing local policies and services across a wide range of issues; and
To enable young people to feed back their views and those of their peers to influence local authorities and other service providers.

If you have experience of training young people, if you have worked with young inspectors or young researchers, or if you are interested in influencing our work, we would be delighted if you could come along to a meeting on Thursday 16th April in London. In return we will;

pay for your travel to and from the meeting
offer you a high street voucher of £30 for your active participation
offer you lunch
give you a certificate for taking part.

The meeting on Thursday 16th April is planned to take place at the office of 11Million - the Children's Commissioner for England (at London Bridge). We will start the meeting at 11.30am and it will end at around 3.30pm.
Please contact Janine Young if you want to find out more, either by email; jyoung@ncb.org.uk or by telephone 0207 843 6092.
