RIGHTS RESPECTING COMMUNITY CHARTER LAUNCH

“So we have Rights Respecting Schools within our community and now we want your support in making our community a Rights Respecting Community – so are you willing to join us?”
Rights Respecting Community Charter Launch
Hi Everyone,
Please see the invite (above).
North Edinburgh Young People’s Forum would like to invite you along to the launch of a Community Rights Respecting Community Charter launch in partnership with Total Craigroyston tonight at West Pilton Neighbourhood Centre from 6 – 7pm .
We really hope everyone can make it along and help us to send out a clear message on bullying, support, and various other items/issues associated with our rights as young people, and hopefully everyone can sign the charter in support of the message we are trying to send. There will also be some discussion in regards to how we as a community can take this forward and what you want us to do next with the charter.
Hope to see everyone there tonight – please pass onto your contacts and display within your work places/organisations.
Thanks,
North Edinburgh Young People’s Forum
