The way forward

The Myplace young people's bid team has been a small and committed group of young people who can truly see the opportunity that a 'World Class Youth Centre' would bring to the city. Its been a pleasure to work with them.

The challenge is to find a way that more young people can have meaningful, relevant and ongoing involvement in the process. Whether this is a parallel bid and planning team or something different, their experience of working together on the project should act as preparation for them to take opportunities to influence. Those opportunities to influence should be provided as a matter of priority and it should begin right now!

We are free to create a system of influence which truly works and we have an ideal opportunity to do this with the myplace project.
