Developing and Promoting a Campaign
with Young People
UK Youth’s Hearing Unheard Voices project is funded through BIG lottery fund for 3 years; to give young people the skills and opportunities to speak up to shape services, through media and campaigning activities.
HUV is aimed at young people aged 11-18, with a particular focus on those who are rarely heard such as homeless/ carers/refugees/ LGBT/ BME/ disabled/ parents and NEET’s.
The training day is heavily subsidised by UK Youth and each delegate will receives a free copy of the brand new Campaign Challenge Toolkit.
The day will be centred around UK Youth’s new Campaign Challenge toolkit, with a morning session on campaigning leading into media training in the afternoon. The toolkit will provide resources and activity ideas which can be taken away with you as well as an outline on how to incorporate accreditation into campaigning.
The toolkit focuses on equipping young people with the skills and resources to be able to start a campaign. The training will equip you as the service provider with a better understanding of what campaigning is; along with ideas on how to generate publicity and approaching the media.
This will enable you to go away and plan your first campaign with your group of young people.
A sandwich lunch will be provided
