Danielle Ward reports on North Edinburgh Young People’s Forum’s (NEYPFs) latest event:
The forum event got into full swing with lots of food and juice for everyone so that everyone could mingle, then we moved onto our presentation which everyone took part in which explained how we done our ‘Barrie, Radge ‘n’ Mingin’ project. Then we moved onto the more exciting part of the evening which was our vote… which involved each young person having two tables of their two project ideas and everyone that attended got two votes. The young people put so much effort into their proposed project stalls it was really great to see young people being so ambitious and involved in an issue that affects them. At the end of the evening we counted up the votes which decided on our next project which came out on top as privatisation/community cuts. There was also a memo table at the event for everyone to leave comments and a young person primary school age has asked for a younger forum so the forum are also going to be focusing on doing some research into a younger forum for primary aged children. So watch this space…
And a big thank you for everyone who took their time to attend the event; we appreciate the support.
