Theme for 2008 - Promoting Young People's Voice and Influence

 

Announcement!

The NYA and 11 MILLION are pleased to announce that the second-ever Takeover Day will now take place on 7 November, creating a climax to Youth Work Week 2008 with its theme of “Promoting the Voice and Influence of Young People”. Last year’s 11 MILLION Takeover Day saw young people all over the country given the chance to participate in and comment on some of the institutions that affect their daily lives, including local authorities, business, health services and the media. Further information on plans for both Youth Work Week and Takeover Day 2008 will be available soon.

 

About YWW 2008

 

 

 

One of the distinctive contributions of youth work is to help young people to have more control over their lives. Whether it’s about the running of their own clubs and projects or having much wider influence over public services, youth work plays a key role in enabling young people to make a contribution. All youth organisations are invited to use Youth Work Week 2008 to reflect on, celebrate and to further develop the way in which they help young people to use their voices and exercise influence.

 

The NYA will produce an information pack for the week by July. In the meantime check back here occasionally as we’ll be adding more information in due course.
