This is a call to all of you from Dawn Hurton (The Council’s Young People’s Officer)
The SkateJam was organised to test the types of activities that young people in Penrith want to be involved in. Some of your opinions were collected on the day but some more in depth responses will help decide what happens next.
Come along to a group session and say what you think. You can talk about what is on offer in Penrith and what would improve things. Hopefully it will lead to some lively airing of different views and opinions not only about how the SkateJam worked and which activities people enjoyed, but also about what other events and activities there might be in the future in terms of leisure/sport/arts/culture.
These are the sessions proposed
1) Friday 8/04.09 – Workshop/Group Discussion 1 at Young Cumbria (St Andrew’s Churchyard) 4.00pm – 5.00pm
2) Friday 8/04/09 – Workshop/Group Discussion 2 at Young Cumbria 5.00pm – 6.00-pm
3) Friday 8/04/09 – SkateJam Debrief 6.00m-7.00pm ( this session will be attended by event organisers)
Come along if you took part in any of the activities at the SkateJam or came as an oberver or decided not to come because it wasn’t for you. Please encourage others to attend too; different views are needed to reflect what you think.
Some of the digital reporters will be on hand to video the discussions. Can David and Saving the Silence members attend to take part in the sessions and also to split video jobs? ( there’ll be plenty more to do in terms of editing and uploading after that!!)
If you can attend, please reply to dawn.hurton@eden.gov.uk and say what session you prefer to come along to. You could also join the social network and get some chat going.
