Truth about Youth Objectives

 

 The Truth about Youth is about...

  • supporting young people to deal positively with the challenge of growing up in a culture which has a widespread negative perception of youth.
  • increasing levels of interaction between young people and adults to raise mutual understanding and develop projects in which they all have an interest and for those projects to have a lasting benefit.
  • engaging young people to identify and set up their own cooperative projects which address their needs and demonstrate young people’s value to society.
  • co-ordinating youth activity into a media campaign to increase the positive coverage of youth issues.
  • creating opportunities for young people to engage with wider audiences from private, public and voluntary sectors and to positively influence the attitudes wider audiences hold.
  • creating a network of young people willing and able to continue to build on the impact of this project.
