"I know what young people would like from a new world-class youth centre"
Red/orange remarks show their feelings, as a group, at the beginning of the session and the green/blue remarks show their feelings at the end of the session
Today's session was all about priorities for the building itself.
Session Aims
• To explore what we and other young people feel is important
• To think about the challenges for the bid team and possible solutions
• To prepare a pitch for the Counsellors’ meeting
The group thought about all the buildings they use in York and chose some examples of what they considered good buildings and bad buildings.
Using the floor as a virtual map of York they stood at the location of their building and gave their thoughts on the building's purpose, location, culture and features.
This helped the group to consider lots of important things we experience about buildings which could feed into our plans.
Following this the group used diagrams to explore what they think are the priorities for a new building based on their experience and knowledge. This information will be really helpful when it comes to working with an architect.
We noticed that there were a number of conflicts emerging between what people thought were priorities. Sarah will test these conflicts out by doing a short consultation with young people in schools next week.
Finally the group brought together all their ideas into three short statements to be delivered to the meeting of elected members on Thursday. We welcomed Cllr. James Alexander to the group to give some helpful feedback and to join in the debates.
Peace
