SafeSpace..
The UK Youth Parliament Safe Space event at the Ipswich Town Football club provided young people with a 'safe space' where they could talk about terrorism and violent extremism and talk about how they could work with people in the community and youth leaders.
Project Safe Space Eastern Region organised the event which was based on the statistic that young people could not find a place to talk about terrorism and fundamentalism 97% at one meeting believe this..
"The project aims to give young people the chance to talk about and challenge the stereotypes and prejudices created by terrorism and violent extremism." St Helen's Reporter.
My Presnetation was about young leaders which went really welland was favourite (or second favourite) among many!
Safespace is a great idea and one of the best things i've done..:)

County Hall meeting..
Well on Monday the 23rd March I had the chance to go to County Hall with The Crome county Councillor, George Nobbs who was one of the best Councillor the Norfolk County Council though has a predominant party the Conservatives- a majority of 44!
Though the may not seem a problem it is they Are the only party not allowing young people not to have free transport in Norfolk with all the other 3 Council Parties all agreeing for a young person's transport scheme in Norwich and Norfolk and this is subsidised in their party budgets.
Recycling also a hot topic seems to be slacking too and schools still has to pay for recycling meaning the world can't be saved - Little OTT i guess?
It went very well all the same and Spoke to many of the councillors and heard their opinion on many things especially the environment which is important at this time.
Lunch was very good too :)

Eco-Towns event
...
The event was about the new Rackheath eco-town,near Norwich which is Brownfield land ...land that had been built on before.
councillors from Broadland and parish councillors were there and peoplewho believe they can make the eco-town sustainable.
there are many pro's and con's to eco-towns
Pro's are.
More housing for those who have less money
a job for every household.
young people having a voice and participation
empowerment...making decisions in the community
good for the environment.
con's are..
Planning..central and local..
segregation of people..new and old ...
15 years to build the town
5 years to create leisure facilities
summary.
Eco-towns are useful they give people new houses but they take a long time to build so while people who need houses increase it will be slow work also though young people will have the opportunity to have their voice heard it depends on the future
though and MYP'S in twenty years time..

CSN/LGiU conference.
Youth participation and the Internet is actually a little strange.
One of the first speakers in the conference was quite old believed he worked for the youth citizenship commission and
to scared to set up a facebook ..madness the guy is at a youth participation and the Internet conference the whole point is to be advanced in working with everyone.
If I recall the best talk (other than ours :)) was by Dr Julia Glidden it was very good the way she explained it and the way things like this must not stick to it being normal ..reaching out is whats going to make a difference especially to those who are young like me and those who are reading this if you can be bothered.
The young advisers of the Mayor Of Lewisham surprised me because they said that young people do not want to talk to youth workers ..yet Norfolkblurb's social networking has about 160 young people signed up by textpal a moderated social networking site so I think they were in depth maybe.. I'm sure they are good though :) sort of.
Our talk went really well and I had to speak and many people complimented it. I was told i was great but sometimes you can't believe your a shooting star of politics and the suchlike...I like building my own hype...Lol.
Devon county council has done stuff based on the Internet as well which is good but two out of loads is bad.
It was very informative but things need to advance..not much has changed since February at the symposium.
