Youth Consultation – Fill in our survey

Following our consultation with young people just over a week ago, we're now looking to broaden feedback on Greenbelt's work for 11-18s, and give all young people the chance to let their voice be heard, by completing our online survey.

Greenbelt is developing its work for, with and by young people. We want young people’s voices to be heard and for them to help shape the festival.

The first steps were to recruit a Youth Participation Co-ordinator, and to launch a questionnaire at the festival asking for young people’s opinions.

Next was a small-scale consultation, held in London on 4th February to ask more specific questions. We welcomed a small group of young people (below) from across England, aged 14-17, to the Greenbelt office. They were asked to tell us what their ideal day would look like, what it means to be a Greenbelt youth and what the youth venue should be used for. The motto of the day was "No idea is a silly idea". At the end of the day we went through the ideas with the group so they knew how easy or practical they would be to implement at Greenbelt 2012. Since the end of the session, conversations have continued in the Greenbelt office.

This is where you come in... We are completing our preliminary consultation by asking any young person who was unable to attend on the 4th February to share their thoughts using our online survey.

Although we can’t put all ideas in practice, we want to hear any thoughts you might have. Make sure your idea is on the table for consideration. Results will be collated on March 2nd 2012.
