Young people from the district will be appearing at Lichfield Speakers’ Corner, between 10.30am and 11.15am on Saturday 6 November. They will be talking about and advertising the ‘Youth Work Week’ event that is taking place at Minster Hall on the same day.

Youth Work Week, is taking place at Minster Hall, from 12-4pm. The event will celebrate all the positive work that young people have been involved in, or lead on, over the last 12 months.

There will be a gallery of images on display for the whole community to see and experience – the images will be of work carried out by young people and specific projects that they have led on and created.

Videos produced by young people, and of district events, over the last year will also be shown on a rolling loop.

Young people will also be running a non-alcoholic cocktail bar, and showcasing the skills they have learnt during the recent alcohol awareness week. As well as this, young people will also be around to act as tour guides across the gallery spaces.

There will also be the unveiling of a static piece of artwork dedicated to showcasing how young people feel about youth work, and how it has influenced their lives during the day. This will be worked on in Youth work week (1-7 November) in the run-up to the event.

The event aims to target the whole community, from young people to elderly residents, to show how young people can positively influence and contribute to their community, and to also raise the profile of the work done by the positive activities section of Staffordshire Young People’s Service.

So, why not come along to Speakers’ Corner on Saturday 6 November to find out more – of if you can’t make it in time, come along to Minster Hall between 12noon and 4pm!
