If you are involved in making a myplace centre happen, the myplace youth festivals are for you. You will get a chance to learn and share your ideas and views on different aspects of your project and to gain new skills. The festivals will be a great way to meet other young people from other myplace projects nationally, but mainly to have some fun!
These events are for young people involved in myplace projectsand aim to help put young people in the driving seat for the programme. The Festivals are organised by the myplace Young Consultants who are young people aged between 18 and 25 who work as part of the national myplace support team.
We are hoping all myplace projects will be represented by a group of young people attending with a youth worker.
