One World All Different

Why should I attend this conference?

Our World All Different course gives young people a voice that is heard, respected and valued.

This youth-led session provides a platform for young people to facilitate workshops on issues affecting them. We invite professionals who work with young people from all sectors to attend the day.

The course provides professionals with a real insight into local and national issues affecting children and young people. By attending the conference, delegates have an opportunity to discuss concerns and issues with the youth facilitators.

What will I gain from the course?

• A safe space and environment to discuss their working practices and concerns, and share ideas and experiences.
• An understanding that key workers can make a difference. Professionals will feel empowered, motivated and inspired.
• A greater understanding and awareness of young people's desires, concerns, needs and issues enabling them to make informed decisions about how to support young people.
• The ability to develop partnership work with other organisations, and networking opportunities.

What will young people gain from the course?

• Young people and young adults will feel less isolated, and have increased self-esteem and confidence.
• They will gain presentation and facilitation skills focusing on the value of youth participation.
• Young people will have gained life skills in communication, decision-making, planning, problem-solving, leadership, team work and public speaking.

We are taking the course to locations across the UK to give as many people as possible the chance to participate.
