Citizens Assembly


We consulted with young people on the types of projects that they would deliver if they wanted to improve Newcastle. A group of young people at the September monthly meeting came up with Newcastle’s Young Successes (NYS), a project to promote and reinforce the positive work that young people are involved in.

You said We did
There should be a project to promote all of the positive work that young people do in different areas around Newcastle.  This would challenge people’s perceptions of young people.

We worked with the group of young people to develop the project which was then presented at the Newcastle Citizens Assembly event. The project was extremely well received by the Assembly as well as the Leader of the Council and we are planning to work with the young people and members of the Council to take the idea forward.
