I gain huge insight listening to #YouthVoice & today was resoundingly all about listening to young people. The Youth Council from Newcastle City Council led a #NetZero Heroes event. I ran the @ministryofeco.bsky.social #BritishScienceWeek inspired stand on "What's Your Environmental Question?".

During BLOCKs sessions, young people created positive post-its with their mentors. Messages of encouragement now shared on the wall for others to read, reflect on, and take strength from during sessions.

🧠 TCC at the Mind Our Future Discovery Day in Wrexham — invited following our support for Debatable Youth.
That support has now successfully concluded, with young people fully running the podcast themselves. A real win for youth voice and capacity building.

Last night our Children and Young Person's team attended the Leeds #YouthVoice Takeover. Proud to be empowering young people to share their thoughts, feelings & wishes with decision makers within Leeds about their community and what would help make them feel safer in Bramley.
Barca-Leeds children and young persons team stood in front of a presentation screen with the words 'Children and Young People's Partnership Board Takeover'.

One of the key principles of Harm Reduction is the understanding that there are many pathways to wellness. Supporting youth in navigating their personal wellness without judgment can support youth voice and choice.#OpenDoorsTraining, #OpenHeartsOpenDoors, #youthvoice #youth #youthdevelopment
