What is youth voice? How can we involve young people in decision-making? What are the benefits of co-production with young people?
We will explore:
Youth voice in context: its origins, concepts and models
Youth voice in practice: the tools, techniques and skills
Embedding youth voice: ethics, ethos and organisational culture.
Through interactive activities, group work and knowledge-sharing, you will discover why youth voice is important, how it works and how you can successfully embed the approaches within your practice or organisation. The day is suited to both practitioners and those working within small or large organisations.
The session will be delivered by Sound Connections Programme Manager, Jennifer Raven and youth participation expert, Lawrence Becko.
Sound Connections is a champion for youth voice across the cultural sector. Over the last year, weve worked with a diverse range of arts organisations and music hubs to create youth voice strategies, develop young trustee initiatives and train teams in how to embed young people at the heart of what they do. We also run Wired4Music, our in-house youth leadership programme, which gives young people across London the opportunity to step up and shape their own musical futures.
