Warwickshire Youth Conferences
“Young people are the voice of the future: a future we should take every opportunity to influence. This conference gave us that chance by creating a space to talk with each other and to local organisations about our views on issues we care about and how we can make a difference and shape our communities.”
As part of Warwickshire County Council’s Child Friendly Warwickshire initiative, two Youth Conferences have been held to give young people a platform to share their views and shape the future.
The first, Future Ready, took place in 2022, followed by Voices of Tomorrow in 2023. Both conferences were hosted by Child Friendly Warwickshire and Warwickshire County Council’s Voice, Influence & Change team, organised and led by young people for young people, providing an opportunity to discuss key issues that matter to them. Reports and videos from both conferences are available below, showcasing the insights and contributions made by young people across Warwickshire.
