Your Story’ – The UK Prize Competition 2013 is now open for entries
The British Council is running its annual competition for participants from the UK who have recently participated in the Youth in Action and Erasmus Programmes. If this is you, we want you to tell us Your Story through words, photographs and film.
As a participant of these programmes, we are sure you have a story to tell. This competition gives you the chance to share your experiences with other participants and the wider public. Your Story could also inspire others to participate in these life-changing programmes.
Enter by 27 September!
The UK Young Ambassadors are looking for your opinions on youth unemployment. Make sure the UK youth voice is heard?
The UK Young Ambassadors want to know what young people across the UK think about social inclusion and access to employment, education and training.
They want to know what challenges young people face when changing schools and when looking for employment. They also want to know what the impact is of young people not being able to access work and training, what support is needed and how best can young people access this support.
You can win a £30 Amazon voucher for taking part!
The UK Young Ambassadors will discuss the results of this research with European decision makers at a Structured Dialogue European Conference in Lithuania in September and will campaign to make sure young people across the UK and Europe feel more included in their communities. The Structured Dialogue process in the UK is funded by the British Council as the UK National Agency for the Youth in Action programme and Eurodesk UK.
The more voices from the UK, the more we can influence European youth policy that affects us here.
Fill out the survey here and you could win a £30 Amazon voucher.
If you would like to be part of a focus group or consultation workshop, please e-mail international@byc.org.uk.
