On Wednesday 19th April we held our first Youth Practitioners’ and Educators’ Forum hosted at City Academy. We welcomed over 35 attendees and had vibrant conversations around inclusion, collaboration, and delivering change for our young people. This marked the first of our series of Forums which will act as a catalyst platform for bringing to life OurCity2030, our bright vision to support at least one young person from each inner-city household in Bristol to secure a median salary by 2030.
The event received positive engagement including interest for more networking, panel discussions and opportunities to build meaningful connections amongst practitioners. We will be hosting our next Forum in the autumn, so keep an eye out for more information. In the meantime, we would love to stay in touch with you: if are a local resident, service provider, educational institution or statutory service looking for support for young people under your care, or would like to refer a young person to our programmes – email Louise at louise.goux-wirth@byep.org.uk for more information.
