Wall Post-its
There is a growing chasm between those delivering participation work and senior managers/decision makers/governance figures…we run the real risk of this becoming unbridgeable
I think it is very important that participation ivolves young people and that managers want to make viable ideas happen
Working with school councils to develop more participative practice within schools
Very interesting to hear all the presentations and imnpressed by the quality – hard to relate to my work!
How did the projects try to involve young people from minority groups? For example black and ethnic minority populations? Disabled young people? Travellers?
How were young people involved in the evaluation of the CWDC funded projects?
