Backed by Greater Manchester’s Mayor, a new toolkit has been developed by young people for young people to boost civic education and engagement.
Youth Leads UK’s Civic Leadership Youth Steering Group and Mayor of Greater Manchester Andy Burnham have successfully celebrated the launch of a pioneering new tool designed to enhance civic engagement among young people in Greater Manchester.
The Youth Steering Group is made up of over 20 remarkable young individuals from diverse backgrounds across Greater Manchester. To develop the resource, they conducted extensive research and engaged with various stakeholders, including decision makers, educators, and youth groups. Their research revealed a significant lack of awareness among young people about vital civic roles and how they can get involved.
Bringing together leaders from the public, private, and charity sectors at leading audit, tax and consulting firm RSM UK’s Manchester office, the event celebrated the toolkit, gave young people the opportunity to network with decision makers, and explored new avenues for civic involvement.
