YOUTH RESPONSE TO THE ECONOMIC CRISIS - 23 JANUARY
Crunch time - what's happening?
The number of 16 to 24-year-olds out of work is now 952,000 - the highest figure since records began. We’re in a down turn, but we refuse to believe we’ve crashed.
We want your support in Barking and Dagenham
From 11 to 12.30 we’ll be running a listening session with young people on the problems’s we face and the solutions we propose.
We’ll then take our conversation to the streets and campaign with Jon Cruddas on the issue of the economic crisis locally.
What next?
What will you pledge?
The number of 16 to 24-year-olds out of work is now 952,000 - the highest figure since records began. We’re in a down turn, but we refuse to believe we’ve crashed.
We’re the upside of down and it’s up to us to take action. Working with you, Compass Youth are developing a campaign that’s going to be led by you to start the bounce back.
Who's been queuing up?
Over the last six months, young people across the country from universities, youth groups, schools, graduates on the street and people in the job centre have been listening to each other and developing ideas for that we’ll then act on to make change happen.
We want your support in Barking and Dagenham
Whatever your background or situation we believe you’ve got a voice and the ability to act. Young people have come together across the country and now we’re bringing people together in Barking and Dagenham between 23 January between 10.30-3pm to explore the impact of the crisis and develop ideas for action.
From 11 to 12.30 we’ll be running a listening session with young people on the problems’s we face and the solutions we propose.
We’ll then take our conversation to the streets and campaign with Jon Cruddas on the issue of the economic crisis locally.
What next?
After listening to young people of all ages and backgrounds across the country we’ll work with you to decide the three most effective ideas for action at the session we're holding at the Progressive London conference on 30 January and then enable you to learn campaigning techniques to shape our campaign on 7th February at Toynbee Hall, before campaigning over the coming months.
