We ran a workshop for non-adults this week in Harrow. We were invited by the Borough’s Student Advisory Group to test young people’s views on social cohesion. This was a slightly different challenge and we needed to use all our engagement skills to ensure two groups of twenty 13-14 year olds really got a voice. Young people from all the borough’s schools were represented, including special needs schools, and we were grateful for the expertise of teachers who were on hand to help.
Not unsurprisingly, the children had fairly strong views, giving us a fresh perspective on the overall social cohesion challenge.
