Join us for a free training session and gain an understanding of Youth Participation, why it matters and what the benefits are.
The training will be delivered by Participation People, who run award-winning youth voice, engagement and youth participation programmes across the UK. You will hear from their Young Consultants, a group of young people who work to bring an entirely fresh perspective to organisations and offer unique insights which can change thinking, in real-time.
This training session is based on the CBA's ongoing work to embed youth governance and youth voice within the organisation. You can find out more about our plans for the next six months and how to get involved here: Project Overview.
