2022 Youth Conference in Hull

On the 23rd July 2022 young people from all over the country gathered in Hull for the annual conference of the UK Youth Parliament.

Members of Youth Parliament (MYPs) aged 11 to 18 debated issues affecting young people at the University of Hull, and then voted on which topics will form the Youth Parliament’s 2022-24 national campaign.

Take a look at our photos of the event.

Durham Youth Network Conference

A very successful Durham Youth Conference was held on 29th March at The Durham Centre, Belmont. The event included a keynote speech from Joy Allen, Police and Crime Commissioner for Durham and Darlington. Our own Emma Abbott and Jack Nicholls from NE Youth led a workshop session on Youth Voice and How to Practically Involve Young People.

Discover Youth

The North East Youth Alliance launched their first Clore Discover Youth leadership programme, with 11 Young Leaders participating in the programme. Discover Youth is our online programme designed to support young people discover their leadership potential and build valuable skills which can boost their confidence, accelerate their career development, and take them one step closer to making the world a better place.

The first session was held on Thursday 14th of October 2022, where the group reflected on their strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and barriers and then began to find solutions to these. It was amazing to hear these young people’s aspirations, motivations and working together.
